Bible Text: Luke 24:40-53 | Preacher: Alex Ruggieri | Series: A Friend in Jesus (The Book of Luke) | Ever wonder why Jesus ascended to Heaven?  Why didn’t He just stay here on earth and reign as King?  After all, He was raised from the dead and could never die again!  In this message, you’ll see that Jesus’ “goodbye” was more than ordinary.  It was glorious.
