1 | Paradise is Heaven? Would you clarify? | Luke 16:22 | Carefree Llama | 225356 | ||
Is it not possible that Jesus needed to ascend to the Father after He was risen from the dead? I understand your point about Him not ascending yet, but that obviously means He hadn't ascended after either dying or rising. Because we know Jesus came from heaven so He would have been there before. Maybe He needed to raise from the dead before He could present Himself as "the Lamb". He must have had to conquer sin and death. Which after He died he hadn't conquered yet, until this moment in John 20:17. Now that He had conquered death and sin He can ascend. |

Hello carefree, Keep in mind "where" Jesus is as a result of the Ascension: "So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God." (Mark 16:19); "which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places," (Eph 1:20) His Ascension was predicted: Ps 68:18; Jn 6:62; 7:33; 13:1, 3, 33, 36; 14:2–5, 12, 28; 16:5, 7, 10, 17, 28; 17:13; 20:17 (cf. Ps 110:1); Jn 3:13 Several reasons for His ascension (though not exhaustive) are: 1. To sit at the Father’s right hand (i.e., the place of authority and rulership): Ps 110:1; Mat 26:64; Mk 16:19; 2. To enter into His glory: Luke 24:26; 1 Tim. 3:16; 3. To return to His Father: Jn 13:1–3; 4. To prepare a place for believers: Jn 14:2–3; 5. To send the Spirit: Jn 16:7–8 (cf. Ac 1:5; 2:1–4; 6. To be highly exalted: Acts 2:32–35; Eph 1:20–23; Php 2:9–11; Heb 7:26 Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
