DIED- RAISED- ASCENDED [CCCF- Mass- Church Unlimited]
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Matt 13:31
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. In. 12:24

NEW- [past posts below]
On today’s video I shared from CCCF and some of the verses from the Mass.
The Church is made up of all believers- and there is a unity in the spirit that we all have- we have all been made to ‘drink’ from that fountain.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Cor. 12:13
The bible- and the creeds- teach us that Jesus died- was buried- and rose again.
1Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
But was that it?
No- he told us that he would ascend into heaven- and then the promise of the Father- the Holy Spirit- would come to the church.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.  Jn. 16:7
On the day of Pentecost it happened- the Spirit came to the church.

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The resurrection of Jesus was proof that the Father accepted the suffering of the Son- for the full satisfaction for the sins of man.
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Jesus rose again- to die no more.
He has the power of an everlasting life.
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.  Heb. 7:16
He has given to us this same Spirit- that raised him from the dead.
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
This is the guarantee that he will finish what he started in us- the full and final redemption of the purchased possession- which is us!
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Eph. 1
We have eternal life now- and will share in his resurrection- both now- and at the final resurrection of the dead.
The apostle Paul teaches us this-
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph. 2
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Phil.
When the early believers saw Jesus ascend to heaven- they were told he would come in ‘like manner- as you have seen him go’.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
This is the hope of the church- that he will ‘come again- to judge the living and the dead- and his kingdom will have no end’.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge
the living and the dead
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
[Apostles and Nicene creed]
We have been born of the Spirit- the same Spirit that dwells in all of the church-
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8
God has deposited gifts in us- by this same Spirit.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
Cor. 12
Just like in the creation- the Spirit of God brought forth life.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
So he also works in us- to bring forth life-
We are ambassadors of Christ- who the apostle Paul refers to as ‘the Spirit’-
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Cor. 15
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Cor. 6:17
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
 2nd Cor. 3
How can that be?
Jesus is the anointed one- the Messiah.
He became man- suffered death- and was buried.
By the power of the Spirit he was raised back to life- and after he ascended to the right hand of God- he sent us the Spirit.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
This Spirit testifies thru us-
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost- Mk. 13:11
 When we speak- it is our Father that speaks thru us-
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.  Matt. 10:20
We live- because he lived.
Being born of God- born of the Spirit- is a new kind of life- the life of God himself which was manifested thru Jesus-

John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

John 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
We are really members of his Body- his church- and he is the head of this community- the Body of Christ-
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Eph.
There are many mysteries in this kingdom- and it is often hard to articulate them-
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
But there is a witness of the Spirit- that leads us into all truth-
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1st Jn. 2:20
Which transcends our human understanding-
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!  Rom. 11:33
As believers- we wait for the hope of the second coming
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13
We confess that Jesus died- was buried- and rose again.
We confess his bodily ascension to the right hand of God-
This is the faith of the church-
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  Jude 1:3
