父が彼の息子を天国で再び歓迎するのはなんて素晴らしい日だったに違いありません, 彼の苦しみと死と死からの復活の両方を目撃した後. The glorious homecoming of the Son took place on Ascension Day.
The Father sent His Son with a mission
The Father sent His Son with a mission into the world, のうち love for mankind, who had fallen due to disobedience to God and made a mess of things.
Jesus came in the flesh in a fallen world and lived among an unbelieving rebellious generation which was spiritually blinded and loved sin and iniquity.
の (宗教的) leaders and elders of the house of Israel didn’t see in Jesus the brightness of God’s glory, and the express image of the God, whom they served.
Many of them didn’t see Jesus as メシア but as a son of Belial.
What Jesus considered holy, they considered unholy. And what they considered holy, Jesus considered unholy.
What Jesus considered good, they considered evil, and what they considered good, Jesus considered evil.
それでも, they both said they knew God and stood in His service, but who spoke the truth?
The sufferings and death on the cross and the 死者の中からの復活 of Jesus the Christ was the deciding factor and showed who was telling the truth and who was really sent and appointed (油注がれた) 神によって.
The world despised Jesus, しかし神はそうではなかった
The world despised Jesus and esteemed Him stricken, 神にとらわれた, and afflicted and abandoned by God. But the Father had not abandoned His willing faithful Son, Who was despised, rejected and killed by the leaders of His house.
All that time, the Father was with Jesus and connected with Him, until the moment that the Father laid the sin and iniquity of the world upon His Son, and made Jesus sin and because of that He was separated from His Father for a short period of time and was placed beneath the angels and stayed in the kingdom of the death (に. 詩編 8:5-9, イザヤ書 53:3-12, ヘブライ人への手紙 2:7-9).
地球上での彼の人生の間, Jesus spent much time with the Father. Jesus spoke His words, which were not always pleasant to hear and not always loved by the people, and did His works, which were not always considered as the works of God.
But despite people’s unbelief, the temptations in the flesh, and the criticism, 抵抗, 迫害, and sufferings, Jesus remained faithful and obedient to the will and the word of the Father and finished His work, whereby He would bring many sons (男性も女性も) unto glory and sanctify them and make them perfect and reconcile them with God.
Thou made Him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned Him with glory and honour, and did set Him over the works of Thy hands: あなたはすべてのものを御足の下に服従させました. なぜなら、その点で神はすべてを自分の下に服従させたからである。, 彼は自分の下に置かれないものは何も残さなかった. しかし今、私たちはまだすべてが神の支配下に置かれていることを見ていません。. しかし、私たちはイエスを見ます, 死の苦しみのために天使より少し低くされた人, 栄光と名誉の冠を戴く; 神の恵みにより、彼はすべての人に死を味わわせるべきである. それが彼になったからです, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, 多くの息子を栄光に連れて行くことに, 苦しみを通して彼らの救いの船長を完璧にするために. For both He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one
ヘブライ人への手紙 2:7-11
The world rejected Jesus as King, しかし神はそうではなかった
The world didn’t consider His works righteous, but God did and accepted 彼の犠牲 と血.
The world rejected Jesus as King, but the Father didn’t.
The world mocked Jesus as King by putting a crown of thorns on His head and putting a purple robe on Him. But the Father exalted His faithful Son at His homecoming and crowned Him with glory and honour.
The glorious homecoming of the Son Jesus Christ
The Father gave Jesus a crown and the scepter of His Kingdom and placed Jesus, His Son on His right hand on the throne and put Him above all principality, 力, かもしれない, そして支配権、そして名前が挙がるすべての名前 (エペソ人への手紙 1:20-23, ヘブライ人への手紙 1-2).
The Father put His Name above all name, whereby Jesus acquired the highest place, there is to acquire
Through Jesus’ sufferings and death, He has brought and still brings many sons to glory and sanctify them until the fulness of time.
