Can't Nobody (Part 3)

After His death and resurrection, Jesus returned to Heaven.  There He continues to minister in power and authority at the right hand of God:

"Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Luke 22:69

"And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God." 
Acts 7:56

Jesus also continues to minister through the power delegated to believers.  Before Jesus returned to Heaven, He delegated power and authority to His followers.  They were to do the works He had done, and even greater works according to John 14:12.

Someday, Jesus will return to earth in great power and glory:

"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory." 
Matthew 24:30

At that time all the powers of Heaven and earth will be delivered up to Jesus:

"Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."  
1 Corinthians 15:24

All the universe will acknowledge the power of God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ:

"Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  And every creature which is in Heaven, and on  the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."  Revelation 5:12, 13

There is only one empty tomb-His body isn't there. He is coming to receive His own. Are you one of them? Can't nobody do me like the Lord!
