“It is finished!” Jesus cried from the cross,
Meaning, His redemption plan was complete—
Satan’s death-grip on men was fore’er lost;
Jesus’ resurrection sealed the defeat!
Now, Christ Jesus ascended to glory,
Retrieving the throne He’d owned before time,
Successful in planting the gospel story,
His mission accomplished uncommon fine!
Welcomed by heaven’s hosts with joy and praise,
He was enthroned on the right hand of God;
Took control of all things, in all their ways,
His scepter everlasting, and His rod!
Honor and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who brought men salvation at such a price!
Promise Made: Acts 1:10-11 (Luke writes)—
“They [about 120 disciples of Jesus] were looking intently up into the sky [having seen Christ Jesus ascending out of sight] as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white [angels] stood beside them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.’ “ (NIV) [Brackets added]
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
