We rightly celebrate the birth of Christ at Christmas and the death and resurrection of Christ on Good Friday and Easter. But if that’s all we celebrate we’re missing half the story. The gospel is not complete until Jesus ascends and the Spirit descends. The ascension of Christ and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit are not add-ons to the gospel. They are essential to it. More than that, they are essential to understanding our identity as the church, the body of Christ. In this episode of Understanding Acts we look at the two pivotal moments of the ascension and Pentecost and how they set the stage for the rest of Acts.
