17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”
That's pretty interesting but why would Jesus die, resurrect, and ascend into Heaven only to come back down to earth again in such a short period of time? What would be the point? I think what Jesus is saying here is that He's about to ascend, He just doesn't say when but I also don't believe it to be immediately.
Well, any question is a good question. But if Jesus stayed dead then who would I have as a Father in heaven under God the Father? I'm happy for Jesus that he gets to live after suffering for the price of sin which is death. I love Jesus and want to be with him.
Agreed but that wasn't the question. Btw @quietthinker, is the second death Hell?
