Ascension - Christian e-cards

For He has put all things under His feet.

You have ascended on high,
You have led captivity captive;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious,
That the Lord God might dwell there.

Now it came to pass, while He blessed them,
that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

Jesus said to her,... go to My brethren and say to them,
I am ascending to My Father and your Father,
and to My God and your God.

A little while longer and the world will see Me no more,
but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.

When Jesus knew that His hour had come
that He should depart from this world to the Father,
having loved His own who were in the world,
He loved them to the end.

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.

I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.
Amen.

It is to your advantage that I go away;
for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you;
but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name
which is above every name,

God has gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
