Re: Friday lesson.

As a man, Christ was limited by time and space, He could not be anywhere at same time, therefore He must go and the Spirit will come.

My question is:
Is it the same Christ that went to heaven infront of the eyes of His diciples, with the returning Christ at the end of time?

Why the 1st one was eyewitnessed only by His diciples and why the later One might be seen by the whole world?

In His love

James,

The following answers your question:

Quote:

---

Acts 1:10 And while they were looking intently into the heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them,
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven.

Yes, it is the same Jesus who went up into heaven who will also return from heaven at His 2nd Coming.

As to your 2nd question, it was the beginning of the Christian church which was small in size then. It will be a much larger church that He returns to.

Is it because when he went to heaven he was limited to space and time because of his humanity
and when he return to the earth he is no longer limited to space and time because he came as a King,
in God's personification?

In His love

James S
