Today is 40 days after Easter, the day the church celebrates the Ascension of Jesus.
Today we worship Jesus who takes our everything into heaven itself. He doesn't go up into heaven alone. He doesn't slough off his humanity like a snake sheds its skin.
Because he has taken all of us into all of him, and made our humanity everlastingly his own, we ascend with him. God "raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus," (Eph 2:6).
God's throne is not unmanned; it is occupied by the man who contains all humanity within himself. The divine throne is crowded with humanity. The King of Kings, the Ruler of all creation, is a man who is also God.
The Ascension is one small sitting down for Jesus, one giant lifting up for us all.
Join us as we celebrate at a special Ascension Day service 7pm at St Luke's Church, Pamber Heath
