Some folks wonder why Jesus didn’t remain on the earth and rule His kingdom and the nations from here below. Jesus said that His kingdom was not of this world, and after His resurrection He ascended to the right hand of His Father to rule in His kingdom. His kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. But Jesus made sure He left us everything we need to find the Way to Him and to live a life worthy of His name as His disciples.
Before His ascension, Jesus left...
...His clothes to the soldiers - John 19:23-24
...His mother to John - John 19:26-27
...His body to Joseph of Arimathea - John 19:38
...His scars to Thomas - John 20:27
To His disciples Jesus left...
...His peace for comfort - John 14:27
...His supper for remembering - Luke 22:15-20
...His name for asking - John 14:13-14
...His word for learning - 1 Peter 1:22-25
...His example for following - 1 Peter 2:19-21
...His church for belonging - 1 Corinthians 12:27
...His mission to accomplish - Matthew 28:18-20
...an empty tomb for believing - Matthew 28:5-6
...His promise for encouragement - John 14:2-3
...the Holy Spirit for helping - John 14:16-18
To the world Jesus left...
...the gospel for salvation - Romans 1:16
What more do we need?! Thank you, Jesus!
