Ascensão
A ascensão de Jesus ao céu é a coroação de sua obra redentora. Ele subiu à destra do Pai, de onde voltará com poder e glória para buscar os seus.
And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, "Men, Galileans, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to Heaven."
The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
And He led them forth outside—to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands He blessed them, and it came to pass, in His blessing them, He was parted from them, and was carried up into Heaven;
in the house of My Father are many rooms; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me, the works that I do—that one will also do, and greater than these he will do, because I go on to My Father;
I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father."
Jesus says to her, "Do not be touching Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; and be going on to My brothers, and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and [to] My God and your God."
Jesus, therefore, said to them, "Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
and confessedly, great is the secret of piety: who was revealed in flesh, declared righteous in [the] Spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
