Topic: Ascension

When we live like the rest of the world around us, it is because our idea of ministry is too small, our heaven is too small, and our Christ is too small. Indeed, without the Ascension there is no reason to rejoice at all. But thanks be to God, that is not the case. Let us go forth with great joy, just as the disciples did, for our savior Jesus Christ has ascended into heaven, and he will return in the same way as he departed.

Today we celebrate Christ’s Ascension into Heaven. This final miracle of His earthly ministry offered a glimpse of Jesus’ power and majesty. How great is Jesus’ power, and what does it mean for our life and ministry here and now?
