Bible Lesson: Prophecies And Their
Fulfillment.
Bible Prophecy: Messiah's
Ascension.
Bible Text:
Psalm 68:18 KJV
Thou hast ascended on high, thou
hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea,
for the rebellious also, that The Lord God might dwell among them.
Bible Texts:
Luke 24:50,51 KJV
50 And He led them out as far as to
Bethany, and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while He
blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Acts 1:9 KJV
And when He had spoken these things,
while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of
their sight.
Some churches show
a statue of dying Jesus on the cross, but far be that of our
resurrected and ascended Lord Jesus! Seated at The Right Hand Of God,
He is our living High Priest interceding for His people, to God The
Father.
Hebrews 7:25,26
KJV
25 Wherefore He (Jesus
Christ) is able also to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make
intercession for them.
26 For such an High Priest became
us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made
higher than the heavens;
Our Lord's
Ascension:
Mark 16:19 KJV
So then after The Lord had spoken
unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on The Right Hand
Of God.
Hebrews 4:14-16
KJV
14 Seeing then that we have A Great
High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus The Son Of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an High Priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto
The Throne Of Grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help
in time of need.
Hebrews 9:24 KJV
For Christ is not entered into the
holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
I Peter 3:21,22
KJV
21 "...the resurrection of
Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is
on The Right Hand Of God; angels and authorities and powers being
made subject unto Him.
Mark 16:6 KJV
(Angels proclaimed it)
And he saith unto them, Be not
affrighted (frightened):
Ye seek Jesus Of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen..."
Christ
the Lord Is Risen Today
Christ The Lord is
risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and
angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and
triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens,
and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our
glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is
now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all
doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory,
O grave? Alleluia!
Love's redeeming
work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight,
the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain
forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened
paradise, Alleluia!
Soar we now where
Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our
exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like
Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the
grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Prayer:
Hebrews 9:28 KJV
So Christ
was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look
for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
II Corinthians 6:2 NLT For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.
