He sits at the right hand of God, but He will send the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts so we can know Him. So that we too can fellowship with Him, even today! The creator of the universe knows our names, He calls us to follow Him even now. So that we can abide in Him who is Love.

What if I asked them to pray for me to be able to see Him to? If I did, I might forsake my front porch chair for ever and follow Jesus in the Holy Spirit anywhere He led me, with great joy.
Jesus is alive evermore, and is not retired somewhere.

But what if one of the disciples came back to the house and saw me sitting there still in my chair on the porch, and told me the amazing story? What if their eyes were filled with that same intense love that I had seen in Jesus eyes?

I might not have gotten out of my chair & followed the disciples & seen Him alive on the earth for those 40 days, I might not have seen Jesus ascend up into heaven. I might not have gone to the upper room and been there for the day of Pentecost.

Imagine my surprise if the next week Jesus' mother and friends came running back to their house to get a few things beaming with great joy, saying, "He is Risen! He is Risen from the dead just like He said! He's Alive!"

After the crucifixion of Jesus I might have gone back to my front porch chair and wept thinking I had so hoped that finally God was going to do something to change things down here where I live. I might have wept and been downcast for days.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, so we could see the pure love in His eyes. He laughed to let us know we did not have to be afraid, He was full of delight and exceeding rejoicing. He broke down barriers and called people friends, even the least of them.

even though the door was now wide open. He said to ask forgiveness and lay our sins right at the foot of the cross.
Jesus didn’t do all those things by proclamation from above, expecting us to just take Him at His word.

Jesus went through all of that so that the veil could be opened so we could meet God face to face. So that He could be our God and we could be His people, even us. He paid for our sins so that our guilt and condemnation wouldn’t prevent us from entering in,

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Matt 27:50-51

Watching Jesus up on that cross, I might have run for cover when the sky turned dark and the earth started to shake. "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour." Matt 27:45

There was a place in the temple called the Holiest of Holies, only the high priest could go in, it had a big curtain called a veil to keep people out. The Holy Spirit filled that room, common people weren't holy enough to be in Gods presence. The priest could only enter with a blood sacrifice.

One the cross He said, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He knows what it is like to feel forsaken. I think God must have said, You know if there was any other way I would do it. I cannot fathom what it was like for His Father to have to watch Jesus go through all that.

When He was offered up & about to be crucified, He prayed for another way. Jesus knows what it's like to be held down against your will & hurt badly, people don’t just lay there & let soldiers drive nails into their hands & feet, so the soldiers hold them down, one soldier on each arm and leg.

Jesus knows what it is like to really, really need a friend and not be able to find a single one. He knows what it is like to have God let Him suffer, when He could very well have stopped it all.

I would have been shocked to see Him bruised and bleeding carrying a cross on His back. When I realized they were going to crucify Him I would have followed, but not too closely in case people knew I lived by Him.

I probably would have gotten up off my porch chair and gone to Jerusalem for Passover as everyone in my town did. While I was there I surely would have gone to see the ruckus I heard about my neighbor, wondering what it was all about.

Jesus knew that some people knew they couldn’t come to God because they knew they deserved hell. He decided to go to hell for them, so that they could live in heaven forever, He promised to come back for them.

He told the story of how His Heavenly Father runs to meet the prodigal returning, not like us who wait till they have time to fully prove their repentance and have apologized properly.

He experienced real emotions, He laughs out loud, He cries, He has exceeding joy & sorrow. He was not always acting a certain way for what the audience might think. Once He was so consumed by zeal that He cleared the temple with a whip, He said: make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
