6.  Received up into Glory.
A Few days ago I skipped all of chapter 3 except for verse 16, the last verse of the chapter.

I Tim. 3:16  "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was (1) manifest in the flesh, (2) justified in the Spirit, (3 seen of angels, (4) preached unto the Gentiles, (5) believed on in the world, (6) received up into glory.

I couldn't seem to go on without spending some time on this one verse because those six points are the gospel.  The final point is that he is risen.  And it is almost Easter.  A perfect time to reflect on the resurrection.  For if he had come, lived, taught, healed, chosen apostles, gone to the cross, died for our sins only to be defeated by death itself, the story would have ended there.  But he arose.  He conquered death.  He sits on the right hand of God to intercede on our behalf.

Hebrews 1:3  "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,  (speaking of the brightness and image of God himself) and upholding all thing by the word of his power, when he had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High."

We have a high priest.

Hebrews 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."

The gospel.
