Ascension Day ! Homesick for JESUS ? Yearning to see His+ FACE ?

 Are we homesick for JESUS ?  
Are we yearning for HIM+ ?

It may be that the disciples were, as they watched HIM+ ascend into Heaven in His+ Glorified BODY+ , after HE+ had been with them 40 days and nights.

after HIS+ Passion by many infallible proofs . . .

 The Two Preachers 

reveal interesting details 

about the Shroud of Turin.

 Listen to this 10-minute video on this fascinating subject.

40 DAYS and 40 NIGHTS ... The RESURRECTION SEASON !

DAY 6 

of the Resurrection Season

of the Christian Calendar

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS began both to do and teach,  Until the day in which HE+ was taken up, after that HE+ through the HOLY SPIRIT had given commandments unto the apostles whom HE+ had chosen: 

To whom also HE+ shewed Himself+ alive 

after His+ Passion by many infallible proofs, 

being seen of them forty days, 

and speaking of the things pertaining 

to the Kingdom of GOD:

Acts 1: 1-3

+  +  +

Forty days and nights --- unlike ANY other 40 days and nights ever had been or ever will be on planet earth --- were 40 VERY ACTIVE days and nights. 

Disciples were moved from  a despair they could hardly live with to  a  JOY that they could hardly contain in their natural bodies. 

In fact, the brothers walking to Emmaus were SO ENLIVENED by contact with the Resurrected, Living LORD , that they turned around and walked BACK TO JERUSALEM  that very same night ... a matter of nearly 7 miles ! --- just to share the fact : 

JESUS IS RISEN !

What did The Risen LORD talk to them about during that 7 mile journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus ? 

 

Then HE+ said unto them, 

O fools, 

and slow of heart to believe 

all that the prophets have spoken: 

Ought not CHRIST 

to have suffered these things, 

and to enter into His+ Glory?   

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,  

HE+ expounded unto them 

in all the Scriptures 

the things concerning HIMSELF+.

Luke 24:  25- 27 

+  +  +

 Earlier, verse 16 tells us that their eyes were holden, that they might not know Who+ HE+ was, as they expounded to HIM+ their puzzlement over His+ death. 

From the very words of these brothers, they had TRUSTED in CHRIST, so they were quite confounded at the works of GOD.  

Apparently, they did NOT trust the witness of the women of their company who found His+ Tomb empty ... and had talked with an Angel !  

HOW OFTEN HAVE WE OURSELVES

REJECTED THE  WITNESS 

OF THE LIVING CHRIST ?

Why do we make The LORD "prove" HIMSELF+ to us, over and over again?  

Yes, we "agree" in our minds... but do we ALWAYS AFFIRM in our hearts the Truth, when we are faced with great and serious difficulties ? 

The LORD,  The LIVING LORD, The RESURRECTED JESUS, up-braided the brothers ... and it was NOT GENTLE. 

"O, fools ... "

The LORD called these brothers !  

and slow of heart to believe 

ALL

that the prophets have spoken:

 

 The LORD JESUS+ revealed HIMSELF+ to them only in the breaking of the Bread, His+ Body,  because their minds were fixed on "what they knew"  or thought they knew.  

Unbelief is like that.  

The LORD had to share with them the Crucified CHRIST, alas,  before their eyes were opened to the Resurrected, Living CHRIST !

The breaking of the Bread, HIS+ Body, was required to move them from unbelief to FAITH ... that living trust in CHRIST to be exactly WHAT HE+  said HE+ is ! 

IS CHRIST REQUIRED 

to do that for us too ? 

Must  HE+ prove Himself+ over and over again to us before we move from unbelief to faith in HIM+, faith in His+ Victory over death, hell, and the grave ?  

Do we continue to live in despair in secret, tormenting areas of our lives ?

Must HE+ upbraid us, also ?

+  +  +

Dear Heavenly FATHER, 

O, THOU WHO hast given  us Thy SON+ and made us meet to be partakers with HIM+ in glory,  I stand ashamed before THEE for my unbelief. 

I repent and forsake my clinging on to unbelief even when I know The LORD JESUS is ALIVE and LIVES ever to make intercession for us. 

Turn my vision from myself and onto the Victory in CHRIST.  

Turn my vision from the affairs of this world and onto the Coming Return of CHRIST, when HE+ makes all things new and puts to flight the workers of evil, high and low. 

Grant me that Living victory, entrusting my care and keeping unto HIM+ Who+ lived and died, and "Behold,"  HE+ said, " I+  AM  ALIVE FOR EVERMORE! " 

 In the Mighty and LIVING Name of our Resurrected LORD JESUS CHRIST, I lift these prayers to THEE, O FATHER. 

+  +  +

Glory be to GOD ON HIGH ! 

HalleluJAH ! CHRIST IS RISEN ! 

HE+ is risen INDEED !

And 
no man 
hath ascended up to Heaven, 

but HE+ 
that came down from Heaven, 

even the SON+ of Man

which IS in Heaven ! 

Words of JESUS
before HE+ was crucified
and Resurrected, 

as recorded in John 3:13


Now that

HE+ 

ascended, 

what is it 

but that 

HE+

also descended 

first 

into 

the lower parts 

of the earth ?

HE+ 

that descended 

is the same also that ascended 

up far 

above all Heavens, 

that 

HE+ 

might fill all things. 

Ephesians 4: 9, 10

... Go to MY+ Brethren and say unto them,  

I+ ascend unto MY+ FATHER 

and your FATHER   

and to MY+ GOD 

and your GOD. 

John 20: 17b

...What and 

if ye shall see 

the SON+ of Man 

ascend up where 

HE+ 

was before ?

John 6:62

My Brethren, 

You watch all things temporal but you need to watch things in Heavenly places. Times are changing. Soon, life will not continue on as it has been. Times are changing.  Take heed, lest your heart be over-charged with surfeiting and entanglements of your temporal existence. It will be gone in an instant. 

You do not need new "THINGS;" rather, you need an intense focus upon ME+.

In the days coming, I+ AM the only ONE+ Who+ will be able to keep you safe.

Discard the frivolous, the superficial, the external.... all those things which distract you from ME+. Burn them or give them away. Only you, My+ Brethren, can draw close to ME+. It is not given to those outside of ME+ to be able to draw close to Our FATHER WHO art in HEAVEN. 

Draw close to ME+... close to ME+... to ME+.
