THE GOSPEL TRUTH!
Good Friday, Resurrection, and ascension were phases in Jesus’ life, the historical celebrations are almost through… Ascension is 40 days after Easter, so 38 more days.
In Christianity, the Ascension of Jesus refers to his bodily departure from Earth and ascent to Heaven. This event, described in the New Testament, is a key doctrine in Christian faith, marking the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry and the beginning of His reign in Heaven.
Key Aspects of the Ascension:
- Timing: The Ascension is understood to have occurred 40 days after Jesus’ resurrection.
- Location: The Ascension is traditionally depicted as taking place on the Mount of Olives, near Jerusalem.
- Description: Jesus is described as being taken up into a cloud, signifying His departure from Earth and entrance into Heaven.
- Significance: The Ascension is believed to have several spiritual meanings, including:
- Christ’s Reign in Heaven: Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, ruling over all things.
- Preparation for His Return: The Ascension is a promise of Christ’s future return to Earth, as described in the Bible.
- The Promise of Heaven: The Ascension provides hope for believers that they too will one day be taken up to Heaven to live with Jesus.
- Intercession for Believers: Jesus is believed to be actively interceding for believers in Heaven, seeking God’s favor and grace.
Scriptural References:
- Acts 1:9-11: Describes the Ascension, with two angels appearing to the disciples to promise Christ’s return.
- Luke 24:50-53: Provides an account of Jesus’ final moments with His disciples before the Ascension.
- Hebrews 8:1-2: Mentions Jesus’ role as a High Priest in Heaven, interceding for believers.
It’s now time to settle down, reflect, and reset as needed. Hear this:
“Do not remember the FORMER THINGS, Nor consider the THINGS of OLD. Behold, I will DO a NEW THING, Now it shall spring forth… I will even make a ROAD in the WILDERNESS And RIVERS in the DESERT.”
Isai. 43:18-19.
What were the FORMER THINGS of OLD that God considered unworthy and irrelevant to you? It varies.
Figure it out, pray about it, seeking the face of God. Turn to GOD for A NEW YOU, a better version of life. By God, bringing out RIVERS in our DESERT to change our STORIES with MIRACLES isn’t the issue but UNBELIEF, DISOBEDIENCE and the DOLS of self and worldliness. JESUS CHRIST is a new Wine, a new Life Who indwells and works only in a purged HEART – give Him a chance!
The truth? REPENTANCE and RESETTING make way for the desired victory and blessings… don’t miss it, do it after this Easter.
Rejoice in CHRIST!🙌🏻🙏🔥
