Theme: The Ascension of Jesus Christ, the Crowning of His Redemptive Work.
Speaker: Pastor Patrick Kipalu
Main texts: Acts 1:6–11, Hebrews 9:11–15; 21-26
Secondary texts: Isaiah 53:1–7; Hebrews 2:9; 7:23–26; 10:5; Colossians 1:27
It is plain from Scripture that Jesus’ ascension is His literal, bodily return to heaven. He rose from the ground gradually and visibly, observed by many intent onlookers. As the disciples strained to catch a last glimpse of Jesus, a cloud hid Him from their view, and two angels appeared and promised Christ’s return “in just the same way that you have watched Him go”.
The meaning, and current and eternal benefits of the Ascension of Jesus Christ:
1) It signaled the end of His earthly ministry. God the Father had lovingly sent His Son into the world at Bethlehem, and now the Son was returning to the Father. The period of human limitation was at an end.
2) It signified success in His earthly work. All that He had come to do, He had accomplished.
3) It opens the door for the sending of the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in us.
4) It marked the return of His heavenly glory.
5) It symbolized His exaltation by the Father (Ephesians 1:20-23).
6) It allowed Him to prepare a place for us (John 14:2).
7) It indicated the beginning of His new work as High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16) and Mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:15).
😎 It set the pattern for His return. When Jesus comes to set up the Kingdom, He will return just as He left-literally, bodily, and visibly in the clouds (Acts 1:11; Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 24:30; Revelation 1:7).
