The Love of GOD
Jesus H. Christ by angelofsweetbitter2009
“Oh, wonderful story of deathless love; Each child is dear to that HEART above. HE fights for me when I cannot fight, HE comforts me in the gloom of night, HE lifts the burden for HE is strong,
HE stills the sigh and awakes the song; The sorrow that bows me down HE bears, and loves and pardons, because HE cares.
“The Ascension brings together heaven and earth.
The Risen CHRIST brings into heaven with HIM the human nature that HE had assumed at the Incarnation, now completely transformed. (Eph. 2:6)
We who seemed unworthy of the earth are now raised to heaven. We who were unworthy of earthly dominion have been raised to the Kingdom on High, have ascended higher than heaven, have come to occupy the KING’S Throne!
By HIS Ascension the LORD not only opened to man the entrance to heaven, not only appeared before the FACE of GOD on our behalf and for our sake, but likewise transferred man to high places.”
(St. John Chrysostom)
