AFTER JESUS TRIUMPHED, HE GAVE GOOD GIFTS TO MEN

Ephesians 4, We are all parts of one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. For us there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and we all have the same God and Father who is over us all and in us all, and living through every part of us. However, Christ has given each of us special abilities whatever he wants us to have out of his rich storehouse of gifts. The psalmist tells about this, for he says that when Christ returned triumphantly to heaven after his resurrection and victory over Satan, he gave generous gifts to men. Notice that it says he returned to heaven. This means that he had first come down from the heights of heaven, far down to the lowest parts of the earth. The same one who came down is the one who went back up, that he might fill all things everywhere with himself, from the very lowest to the very highest. FRIENDS, AFTER JESUS COMPLETED HIS MISSION ON EARTH, HE SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. Mark 16:19, So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
