Just Jesus #139

Someone said, "His ascension is not His separation from His people, but the ascension of His throne and the beginning of His reign as the head of the Church which 'is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.'"

This is Daniel Whyte III with Just Jesus, a podcast designed to celebrate the birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, the impact He has on the world, and the salvation He offers for all people. This is episode #139. The aim of this podcast is to encourage you to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to begin to live your life according to His Word.

Our Just Jesus passage from the Word of God today is Luke 24:50-53 which reads: "And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen."

Our featured Just Jesus quote today is from E. Talmadge Root. He said, "Christ “ascended,” not to depart from earth, but to take the throne of His Kingdom on earth. “He sat down at the right hand of God.” God’s reign does not consist in sitting upon a distant throne! It consists in omnipresent power and authority. To sit at His right hand means to share His Authority and Omnipresence."
