Jesus returned to heaven to apply His atonement until His return at the Last Day. Jesus Has Opened Heaven to You.

Christ's Great Commission is to courageously advance His kingdom throughout the world by making disciples everywhere based upon His perpetual authority and presence within His Church. Remember that Jesus is the King of Kings. See that You Obey Your King's Gospel Command. Be Confident in Your King's Conquering Presence to Perfect His Kingdom. Confidently Bring the King and His Kingdom Everywhere.

We see that hard-hearted unbelief denies the truth of Christ's resurrection. Beware of Unbelief.

Christ's resurrection is the assurance of your resurrection and your reason to live without the fear of death. The angel rolling away the stone for Christ to depart having paid our eternal debt of the death of prison, we see in our union with Him our complete freedom from the grave. If the Son Shall Make You Free, Ye Shall be Free Indeed-

God has not given us a spirit of cowardice that should paralyze us but of courage that should stir up in us His powerful gifts of love and self control. Don't Live in Fear.

Those who make progress for Christ and His Kingdom are not paralyzed by fear because they move forward by faith. Don't live in fear. Live by Faith.

With the background of raging wildfires in Souther California and now coming closer to some of our homes we consider how Jesus teaches that, The burning sensation of hell will never cease upon the people damned to go there to be punished by God forever. You Do Not Want to Go to Hell.

In contrast to what we learned this morning about the unquenchable hell fire upon the damned, we learn that, The cooling, quenching sensation of heaven will never stop refreshing the people redeemed to go there to be blessed by God forever.- You Will Love Being in Heaven.

The chief priests and Pharisees' effort to secure Christ's burial only further confirmed His death to emphasize His resurrection. Your Salvation from Death is Sealed and Secure.

To show Christ respect His body is given an honorable burial. Like Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus, Be Honored to be Buried with Jesus.
