Where
is Yeshua now and You may be wondering where is Yeshua now? If He is the Messiah wasn’t He supposed to bring us peace? Following Yeshua’s crucifixion and death, G-d raised Him
from the dead and He ascended u 1 Corinthians 15:20 But the fact is that Messiah has been raised from the dead. He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again. Ephesians 4:10 The same One who came down is the One who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that His rule might fill the entire universe. Acts 1:1-3 Dear Theophilus: In my first book (Book of Luke) I told you about everything Yeshua began to do and teach until the day He ascended to heaven after giving His chosen apostles further instructions from the Ruach haKodesh. During the forty days after His crucifixion, He appeared to the apostles from time to time and proved to them in many ways that He was actually alive. On these occasions He talked to them about the Kingdom of G-d. Yeshua told us that He was going to leave us to go back to heaven, that He would be preparing a place in heaven for us, that He would return, and in-between His leaving and coming back, that His Ruach haKodesh would be with us as our Counselor, and His peace would be upon us. Here is a discussion Yeshua had with His disciples before His crucifixion. John 14:1-3, 15-21, 25-28 "Don't be troubled. You trust G-d, now trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. "If you love Me, obey My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. He is the Ruach haKodesh, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive Him, because it isn't looking for Him and doesn't recognize Him. But you do, because He lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans – I will come to you. In just a little while the world will not see Me again, but you will. For I will live again, and you will, too. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. Those who obey My commandments are the ones who love Me. And because they love Me, My Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal Myself to each one of them." I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. But when the Father sends the Counselor as My representative – and by the Counselor I mean the Ruach haKodesh – He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I Myself have told you. "I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really love Me, you will be very happy for Me, because now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am. 10 |
