"What does it mean when it says, He went up?" Ephesians 4:9.
Wait a minute! Who went up? Where is up, anyway? Christ went up, into the skies. In fact, up above the skies. When was that? When God raised him up from way down below where dead people rot. God raised Jesus up from down low to the highest, where He Himself is. So, when the writing says, Christ went up, it means that he had first gone down, dead, into the grave. Then, God raised Christ up above the pillars of creation, beyond the skies. Why? because. To make Jesus the fullness, the fulfillment of absolutely every promise God had ever made. Yeah.
We visit with a brother or sister today overjoyed that Christ has ascended completely over the universe. And, together, we give overwhelming thanks to God.
