Resurrection and Ascension Chapter 10 (p.103-112) The purple Mystery of God<\/em> book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope that our lives are not just ended at our death but continue with in God\u2019s Love in Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus returns to Heaven p.106. So he could bring us up to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Thes. 4:13-18 (Hope for the Christian Dead).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18Therefore, console one another with these words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 14:1-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u201cDo not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2In my Father\u2019s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4Where [I] am going you know the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5Thomas said to him, \u201cMaster, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6Jesus said to him, \u201cI am the way and the truth* and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—-Philip doesn\u2019t get it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8Philip said to him, \u201cMaster, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said to him, \u201cHave I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, \u2018Show us the Father\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
