This same Jesus. Acts 1:9-26.

Pause for thought.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8.

Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God. He ascended into heaven in His human glorified body, He was taken up in a cloud (the shekinah glory?) In doing so He fulfilled scripture and completed the work of redemption, and received the seal of His fathers approval to send the Holy Spirit Acts 1:9-11 and John 7:39.

Jesus is our great high priest who ever lives to make intercession for us for He has carried humanity back to heaven he knows our weaknesses Hebrews 4:15.

When will Christ return? We don’t know! But we do know how and where, and that He will be the same Jesus who ascended with great glory Acts 1:11.

Matthias or Joseph? The call for an Apostle to take the place of Judas was according to scripture prophecy, Psalm 69:25, The New apostles credentials were that they had been with Jesus from the start of Christ’s ministry and a witness of the resurrection and ascension, lots were cast in faith and the decision was the Lords. Some have speculated that perhaps Paul should have been the twelfth apostle? But Paul came no where near to meeting the conditions Peter laid out before the disciples gathered in the upper room. Jesus called Paul on the Damascus road and Paul “saw” Jesus in a vision and was subsequently called by Jesus to be an Apostle to the gentiles. However the scriptures testify that Matthias was rightly chosen to replace Judas Acts 1:21-26

A verse to remember.

This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven. Acts 1:11 (b) N.K.J.
