King Jesus is alive and with us every day if we believe in Him.
When we ask Jesus to forgive our sins, He will come and live in our hearts. Jesus also gives us the Holy Spirit to help us live for Him. Thank you Father God, for giving Your Son to show us what You are like, to die so we could live with You, God, and become part of Your family. Thank You for loving us, Heavenly Father.
Here are words shared by Jesus’ disciple, John, who followed Jesus and spent three years with Him. John saw Jesus heal the sick, raise the dead, feed thousands, walk on water and calm storms.
1 John 1:1-3 (TLB)
Jesus Taught Us About God, His Father
John heard Jesus teach about God, His Father and how much God loves us, and about the Kingdom of Heaven, which we are all invited to join Him in, His forever Kingdom.
John saw Jesus die on a cross for the sins of every person who ever lived. Jesus took our place on the cross for the punishment of our sins. We deserved to die for our sins, but even though Jesus never sinned, Jesus died in our place, because He loves us.
Jesus Died but Rose from the Dead, and is Alive in Heaven
John saw Jesus alive from the dead. Three days after Jesus was buried, Mary Magdalene along with some other women who loved Jesus, went to the tomb where Jesus was buried. They all saw it empty. They ran back to the disciples and John and Peter saw the empty tomb as well. After this Jesus revealed Himself to John and hundreds of others, over the course of 40 days, alive from the dead and living forever, in a glorified body that could walk through walls.
John witnessed Jesus floating up into Heaven beyond the clouds where He is with God His Father, waiting for the day when He will return. Angels told the disciples who saw this that someday Jesus would return from the clouds in Heaven.
Jesus, You conquered sin, death, satan, and hell, all for us, so we could join You, our King, in Your Glorious Kingdom someday.
