if you believe the bible, it states clearly, that Jesus refused "god's" offer to sit on his right hand and rule with him but instead returned to LIFE, re-animated his reconfigured body and in the presence of hundreds of witnesses, moved on to the next dimension of Life Eternal, while still in the body

he is not "in the heavens" ... he said, "what you have seen me do, you can do - even greater things" ... he also said "come follow me" (not wait for me to return) and "the TRUTH shall set you free" not some "savior" ... nothing prevents you from saving yourself ... it would infringe upon your personal FREE WILL - you always have a choice
