Can You See Jesus In Person?

Can You See Jesus In Person?

We have heard many people testifying about seeing Jesus. 

"𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞..." etc.

But no testimony can supersede the Word of God. When people shared that they SAW Jesus, what they were really seeing is the VISION of Jesus, not the literal Jesus in Person.

No one can see the literal Jesus in Person until He returns.

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but 𝐰𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐦, because we shall see Him as He is. - 1 Peter 3:2 (referring to the glorified Christ and our glorified reality)

There are so many Scriptures that give us the truth.

But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 for His feet. - Heb 10:12-13

The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐈 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭. - Matt 22:44 (See also Psalm 110:1)

Jesus is presently sitting at the right hand of the Father, until the end comes. 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. It's called hallucination. Kidding. What you saw is only a vision of Christ, not the literal Christ in Person. 

After making purification for sins, 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 of the Majesty on high. - Heb 1:3

So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. - Mark 16:19

God raised Christ from the dead and 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 in the heavenly places... - Eph 1:20

We have such a high priest, One 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 of the throne of the Majesty in heaven. - Heb 8:1

Christ Jesus is the One who died—more than that, who was raised—𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝, who indeed is interceding for us. - Rom 8:34

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. - Col 3:1

Christ has gone into heaven and 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝... - 1 Peter 3:22

See also Heb 1:3; 12:2; Rev 3:21; Acts 7:55-56; 5:31 and many more!

When the end comes, Jesus is returning from heaven by clouds of glory. The way He ascended into heaven is going to be the way He returns. There is no interim period when He comes down on earth for a walk.

Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧.” - Mark 14:62

This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐠𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧. - Acts 1:11 (See also Acts 1:9 and Luke 24:51)

Behold, 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. - Rev 1:7

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 with power and great glory. - Matt 24:30 (See also Luke 21:27)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but we need to share Word-based testimonies, not some flaky extra-biblical ones. Yay Jesus!
