The ascension does not mean Jesus is gone.
It means Jesus reigns.
This morning we closed our journey through the Gospel of Luke by looking at the final picture Luke gives us of Jesus:
Hands lifted.
Blessing His people.
Ascending to reign.
What a beautiful reminder that Jesus does not stand over His people with clenched fists or folded arms of disappointment. He lifts scarred hands in blessing over weak, forgiven, restored disciples.
Because Jesus is ascended and reigning, we can worship joyfully.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning at Drummond Community Church. As you go into this week, remember:
You are not worshiping an absent Savior.
You are following a living King.
“And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy…”
Luke 24:52
