4/2/2016 An Upward CallScriptures: Acts 1:6-11
A mystery beyond the scope of human experience, truly the realm of the supernatural, is Jesus' Ascension. Jesus had a supernatural birth: born of a virgin. His resurrection was supernatural: He rose from the grave! The only human part of the story is the crucifixion. Why? Because mankind is good at killing. After the resurrection Jesus moved to a new location: He ascended to Heaven. He stepped from this world into the next: that's the kind of God we serve! The Ascension shows us with clarity and authority about the powerful life beyond the grave. Jesus ascending upward to a place of glorification. Jesus had finished His work on earth: on the cross He paid the wages of sin. "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory...But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." You have a friend in high places. You have a friend in the right place! Jesus ascended to Heaven! Jesus will come again: angels declared that He would return in like manner visibly with a mighty shout. Life has its hard times with sorrow and danger, but Jesus is coming to take you home. Live with an ascension attitude: a holy life. Live upward! Believe in Jesus. Serve Him. Comments are closed.
