Beginning:
John 3:13 "No one has ascended to heaven but
He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son
of Man who is in heaven."

Jesus clearly tells us that no one has
'ascended' to Heaven, except He who came
down from Heaven, which of course, was Him.
But Jesus was physically there talking to the
people. He was physically on the Earth speaking
these words, and yet, He said that He was also in
Heaven at the same time. This could be
interpreted and explained in a couple of different
ways:

1. Jesus was referring to God the Father, who

was in Heaven as Jesus spoke. Since Jesus and

the Father are considered one in the same in

most evangelical faiths, the Lord was in both
places simultaneously.
