The Ascension


The Ascension



The Ascension

And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11 ESV.

Acts 1 ESV

Summary

“The sight on the Mount of Olives was unforgettable. Jesus rose into the sky! His ascension marked the beginning of a new ministry, for He is interceding for His people at the Father’s right hand.

For 40 days the resurrected Jesus walked the roads of Israel. But then the time came for His ascension into heaven. Angels attended as Jesus rose into the air until the clouds took him out of sight. In this message we learn more about what it means for Jesus to be in heaven.”

Back In Heaven Where He Belongs

“After Jesus rose again, He did not stay on the Earth for long. He left to His royal seat in heaven, having accomplished His task on earth. 

His current activity in heaven should instill confidence in every Christian. Jesus has a right to be in heaven, and He continues to provide strength, direction, and representation for His people. The good news is this: He is coming soon, and His public coronation on the earth will put all things at rest.”
