Book: Mark

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?

Christ’s Passion, His final hours before the Cross, form the climax of all human history. An honest reading of the Passion narrative shows us the incredible weight of Jesus’ great sacrifice. Our challenge, then, is this: Do we live as if this is true?
