Jesus went up to heaven

Forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, He was with His friends on a mountain. While they watched, Jesus was lifted up into heaven, and a cloud hid Him (Acts 1:9).

Two angels said: “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).

Jesus promised to come back

Jesus said: “I go to prepare a place for you… I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2-3).

Nobody knows the day when Jesus will return. But we know He will, because Jesus always keeps His promises!

God’s Kingdom

When Jesus comes back, He will make everything new. The Bible says: “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain” (Revelation 21:4).

Jesus will be King forever, and everyone who loves Him will be with Him.

Let’s remember the six steps

  1. ☁️ We have all sinned (Romans 3:23).
  2. ⭐ God sent Jesus (John 3:16).
  3. ✝️ Jesus died for us and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
  4. ↩️ Turn around to God (Acts 3:19).
  5. 🕊️ A new start: water and the Holy Spirit (John 3:5).
  6. 👑 Jesus is coming back (John 14:3).
