WE BELIEVE...in Jesus Christ.
"He ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of God the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead."


Part 1: He ascended into heaven.
- Jesus ascended so that the Spirit could descend on His followers.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” Acts 1:8

“It is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, The Advocate won’t come.” John 16:7

Part 2: He is seated at the right hand of God the Father
- The right hand represents honor and authority.

The right hand represents honor.

“This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:20

The right hand represents authority.

“God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.” Ephesians 1:22

Part 3: And he will come to judge the living and the dead.

He is coming.

“I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead...” 2 Timothy 4:1

He will judge.

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” Ephesians 2:8

We are to be prepared.

“And let us not neglect meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25

“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.” Revelation 22:7

My next step: Read Acts chapters 1-2
