Jesus Returns to Heaven

Mark 16:19-20

After 40 days, Jesus left his disciples (Acts 1:3). God took him to heaven. There, Jesus again had the importance that he had in the beginning. Jesus is the son of God. Before the world began, he was there with God the Father (John 1:2). God caused Jesus to be so important again because Jesus worked as God‘s servant (Philippians 2:6-11; Mark 10:45).

The disciples believed that this fact was very important. They did not only teach that Jesus became alive after his death. They also taught that God gave Jesus the most important seat in heaven. See Acts 2:33 and Acts 5:31.

And so the disciples went to do God‘s work. You can read about the many events that happened. See the Book of Acts.

The disciples went to many countries. They told God‘s message to many people. Some people believed; but other people were against them. They had many troubles, but God was with them. And God did not leave them. He did powerful things. And he helped people everywhere to believe.
