Go Ye Therefore(Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-20) After Jesus was resurrected, He appeared to the Apostles. He told them He was disappointed because they had not believed those who said they had seen Him after His Resurrection. He reminded them that He had great power both in heaven and on earth. Then He expanded their missionary callings, saying, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19; Matthew 28:16-18; Mark 16:14). He also told them that only those people who believed and were baptized would be saved (Mark 16:16). After Jesus ascended into heaven, the Apostles "went forth, and preached every where," and the Spirit of the Lord was with them (Mark 16:19-20). SummaryAfter Jesus was resurrected, He appeared to the Apostles. He told them to teach the gospel to all the world. After Jesus ascended into heaven, the Apostles went forth to preach the gospel as the Savior had commanded them. Artist, Harry Anderson |

The Ascension of Jesus(Acts 1:311) For 40 days after His Resurrection, Jesus met with the Apostles and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. After He had finished teaching them, He promised that the power of the Holy Ghost would come upon them and they would be witnesses of the Savior. (Acts 1:38). Then the Apostles watched as Jesus was taken up into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight. Two angels dressed in white suddenly stood by them and asked why they were looking up into heaven. The angels told the Apostles about the Second Coming of Jesus, when the Savior would come in a way similar to the one He had just left. (Acts 1:911). SummaryJesus taught His Apostles for 40 days after His Resurrection. He promised them the power of the Holy Ghost and that they would be witnesses of the Savior. Then, as the Apostles watched, Jesus was taken up into heaven. Two angels appeared and declared to the Apostles that Jesus would come again. Artist, Harry Anderson |

Jesus at the Door(Revelation 3:20) In a revelation given to the Apostle John, Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him" (Acts 3:20). Jesus wants everyone to believe in Him and receive the blessings that come to His righteous followers. He is ready and waiting to help everyone. He gives people the opportunity to learn about Him and accept His teachings. Those who have faith in Jesus can open the door to Him by repenting, being baptized, and living righteously. These faithful followers will receive the great blessing of eternal life with Jesus and Heavenly Father. SummaryJesus stands at the door ready to help us, but we need to invite Him into our lives. By having faith in Him, repenting, being baptized, and following His commandments, we open the door to the great blessing of eternal life with Him and Heavenly Father. Artist, Del Parson |

The Second Coming(Malachi 4:1; Matthew 24:30, Matthew 24:36; Acts 1:11; D&C 5:19; D&C 29:11, D&C 29:13; D&C 88:96-97; D&C 133:10, D&C 133:20, D&C 133:25, D&C 133:48-49) At the time the Savior ascended into heaven, two angels dressed in white stood by His Apostles and 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" (Acts 1:11). Jesus will return to the earth again, but His Second Coming will be dramatically different from His humble birth in Bethlehem. When He comes again, He will descend in power and great glory (Matthew 24:30; D&C 29:11). His glory will be so great "that the sun shall hide his face in shame, and the moon shall withhold its light, and the stars shall be hurled from their places" (D&C 133:49). The Second Coming will be a terrible day for the wicked. Those who have not repented will be burned and destroyed by the brightness of Jesus' coming. (Malachi 4:1; D&C 5:19). The Savior's appearance will be a glorious day for the righteous. Those Saints who are on the earth will be changed and caught up to meet the Savior, while the righteous who have died will come out of their graves and be caught up to meet Him. (D&C 29:13; D&C 88:96-97). No one except Heavenly Father knows when Jesus will come the second time (Matthew 24:36). But when He comes, He will be dressed in red and will appear in many places: "He shall stand upon the mount of Olivet, and upon the mighty ocean, even the great deep, and upon the islands of the sea, and upon the land of Zion" (D&C 133:20; D&C 133:48). He will stand among His people and rule over all the earth (D&C 133:25). The Lord told us, "Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord" (D&C 133:10). SummaryWhen Jesus ascended into heaven, angels told His Apostles that He would someday return. This event will be the Second Coming. No one but God knows when Jesus will come again, but the scriptures say He will come with power and great glory. It will be a terrible day for the wicked and a time of great joy for the righteous. Jesus will live among His people and rule over the earth for a thousand years of peace. The Lord has told us to prepare for the great day of His return. Artist, Harry Anderson |

The Resurrected Jesus Christ(John 3:16; John 8:12; John 11:25; John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 15:20-22) Because Jesus died for us and was resurrected, everyone who has ever lived on the earth will be resurrected: "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:20-22). Resurrection is a gift freely given to everyone through Jesus Christ. But to return to the presence of Heavenly Father, we must follow the teachings of Christ and the example He gave us when He said, "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). Heavenly Father's ultimate gifts to us come through His Son, Jesus Christ. These gifts are happiness in this life as we follow His light and eternal life in the world to come. (John 8:12; John 11:25). SummaryBecause Jesus Christ died for us and was resurrected, everyone who has ever lived on the earth will be resurrected. We can live with Heavenly Father again by doing what Jesus taught us to do and by following the example He gave us. Artist, Harry Anderson |
