The Last Days of Christ On Earth

Following
the Resurrection
Oh
fools, and slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Should
not Christ have suffered all of these things and then enter into
his glory? Be faithless no longer, but believe.
This is what
I have told you from the beginning, that all things must be fulfilled
which is written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and by the
Psalm-writers, concerning me! Christ must suffer, and then rise
from the dead on the third day; that repentance and forgiveness
of sins might be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
in Jerusalem.
I know from
where I have come, and where I will go. You cannot tell from where
I have come, or where I am going. You are from the earth. I am from
above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
No one has ascended
up to heaven, except he that has come down from heaven, the Son
of God who is in heaven. Go, tell my brothers that I will ascend
to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Why are you
troubled, allowing doubt to fill your minds? Be in peace. Witness
my hands and my feet. Touch me, and verify my resurrected body;
for a ghost does not appear having flesh and bones. Because you
have seen me, you believe. More blessed are those who come after
you, who having not seen me, believe.
In a little
while, the world will see me no more; but my presence will remain
with you; and because I live, you will live also.
