TSK · Mark 16:19

A psalm of David. Here is the LORD’s proclamation to my lord:“Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!”

Rejection in Samaria Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.

Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

Peter’s Restoration Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?” He replied,“Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus told him,“Feed my lambs.”

until the day he was taken up to heaven, after he had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power.

And we all agree, our religion contains amazing revelation: He was revealed in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands– the representation of the true sanctuary– but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

Drawing Near to God in Enduring Faith Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.
