If I Tell You Heavenly Things

Nicodemus had thought that he was a spiritual man before he came to Jesus, but now he knew that he had missed something. Jesus had told him earthly things; He had told him about this New Birth, but he had not understood it. Now Jesus was going to give him a sample of what He meant by “heavenly things”. He says, “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is the Son of Man who is in heaven.” It is this statement of heavenly things that we want to think about this morning before we partake of the Lord’s Supper. This statement has much in it of Christ’s blessed person and His mission in coming to save sinners from their sin, and so it will be fitting to prepare us for our time of communion with Christ, around His table, in just a few minutes. Let us meditate upon the 3 statements which Christ gives to us here: 1st – No one has ascended to heaven, but Jesus. 2nd – No one has come down from heaven except Jesus. And 3rd – And no one can be in heaven and on earth at the same time, but Jesus. May we receive this teaching as food to our souls this day.
