What Did Jesus Come to Do?
Jesus Came to Bring Us to God...
He went up to rule in heaven!
After Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to lots of His special followers many times. He told to them why He had to suffer and die on the cross. He showed them in the Bible how God His Father had always planned for Him to take the forever punishment for His people. He told them to go to every part of the world to tell others how the good news. All who would hear the good news, say sorry for their sins and trust in Jesus as their Savior would be saved from God’s forever punishment. They will know special closeness with God now and forever.
After Jesus said all of this, He went home to heaven. Once more Jesus enjoyed the most closest, most wonderful love together with God the Father and the Holy Spirit like He had before He went to earth. Once more He was full of the bright, shininess of glory. Once more He knew all the riches of heaven. And now angels praised Him as the great Savior. Jesus’ work on earth was done, but not His work in heaven. Jesus now reigns as king over all the universe --the King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus prays and cares for God’s people as God’s plan for them keeps being worked out here on earth. He is there ruling and caring for God’s people even now! One day Jesus will come back to earth to bring an end to sin and to rule in God’s new heavens and earth, with God’s people, forever happy. What a great day that will be!
Bible Verse Mark 16:19 “After the Lord Jesus had spoken the them, He was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.”
The Bible tells us that after Jesus rose from the dead, He talked with His disciples about a lot of things. But at last,
when Jesus finished telling them everything He had to say, it was time to go back to heaven and rule as King with God the
Father and God the Holy Spirit. The disciples watched Jesus as He went up into the clouds, then up into heaven.
