Link #177 - Ascension Day

Greetings in the name of Jesus.

I wanted to remind you that today Christians around the world celebrate Jesus ascension into heaven recorded in Acts 1:9

“After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.”

What is the big deal about this event? Lots. For one thing this day reminds us that Jesus sits in a position of authority at the right hand of God. This truth gives us great hope and it is recorded in Ephesians 1:18-21…

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday when we will look further at all the good news of the ascension of Jesus.

Blessings to all.
