Why did Jesus go away? It’s a good question. Fortunately, the Bible gives us some good answers to that question, answers that can help us understand what a blessing it is for us that our Lord did not stay, but ascended into heaven.

Jesus ascended into heaven: to take His rightful place as the King of kings - exercising His authority over all creation; to send the Holy Spirit to assure us that Jesus remains with us always; and to bless us with a purpose of telling everyone what He has done…is doing…and will do for those who love Him.
