  • Matthew 2816-20 16 Then the eleven disciples
    went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had
    told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they
    worshiped him but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus
    came to them and said, "All authority in heaven
    and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore
    go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
    them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
    of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey
    everything I have commanded you. And surely I am
    with you always, to the very end of the age."

  • 1 Corinthians 153-8 3 For what I received I
    passed on to you as of first importance that
    Christ died for our sins according to the
    Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was
    raised on the third day according to the
    Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and
    then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to
    more than five hundred of the brothers at the
    same time, most of whom are still living, though
    some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to
    James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of
    all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally
    born.

IV. The Promises of Christ
  • I Will Send the Holy Spirit
  • Luke 2449 I am going to send you what my Father
    has promised but stay in the city until you have
    been clothed with power from on high."

8
  • John 1416-20 16 And I will ask the Father, and
    he will give you another Counselor to be with you
    forever-- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world
    cannot accept him, because it neither sees him
    nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives
    with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave
    you as orphans I will come to you. 19 Before
    long, the world will not see me anymore, but you
    will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
    20 On that day you will realize that I am in my
    Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

9
  • John 167-8 7 But I tell you the truth It is for
    your good that I am going away. Unless I go away,
    the Counselor will not come to you but if I go,
    I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will
    convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and
    righteousness and judgment

10

    came Acts 2

IV. The Promises of Christ
  • I Will Send the Holy Spirit
  • I Will Return Again

Jesus is coming again!
13
Jesus is preparing a place for you
  • John 142-3 2 In my Father's house are many
    rooms if it were not so, I would have told you.
    I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3
    And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
    come back and take you to be with me that you
    also may be where I am.

14
Jesus Raptures those who are His
  • 1 Thessalonians 416-17 16 For the Lord himself
    will come down from heaven, with a loud command,
    with the voice of the archangel and with the
    trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will
    rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive
    and are left will be caught up together with them
    in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so
    we will be with the Lord forever.

15
  • 1 Corinthians 1551-52 51 Listen, I tell you a
    mystery We will not all sleep (die), but we will
    all be changed-- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling
    of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
    will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable,
    and we will be changed.

16
Jesus literally returns to earth
  • Acts 111 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do
    you stand here looking into the sky? This same
    Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven,
    will come back in the same way you have seen him
    go into heaven."

Mount of Olives
17
  • Revelation 17 Look, he is coming with the
    clouds, and every eye will see him, even those
    who pierced him and all the peoples of the earth
    will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
  • Matthew 2430 "At that time the sign of the Son
    of Man will appear in the sky, and all the
    nations of the earth will mourn. They will see
    the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky,
    with power and great glory.

18
  • Matthew 2444 So you also must be ready, because
    the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do
    not expect him.
