Why Jesus Had To Leave

After His resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ bade goodbye to the apostles and Ascended into heaven. Why does he had to leave? Is it not more effective if He remained? His appearance will be the best testimony to His resurrection.

The resurrected Lord, in the first place, is not anymore like any human being. He already had the "glorified" body. He does not belong anymore to the world. Besides, it was part of God's plan for the Lord Jesus to be born, minister, suffer, die and resurrect. But the resurrection is not the end. He will send His Spirit who will make the Lord present not only to the apostles, or the Jews, or the Gentiles. His Spirit will make it possible for Him to be present in each and everyone of us at the same time! If He did not leave, His presence will only be limited to where He is. Now that His Spirit is with us, He is here, there, and everywhere!
In His Spirit, we always experience His presence and guidance.
