    What Does Jesus' Ascension Mean?

    Jesus’ ascension is one of the facts of salvation we confess in the Apostle’s Creed every week. But what does it mean for us today?

    In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach {2} until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. {3} After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs ...read more

    A sermon for Ascension of the Lord Sunday.

    “In the Meantime…” Acts 1:1-14 A Tribal Chief lay dying. He called to him three of his people and said, “I must select a successor. Therefore, climb our holy mountain and return with a the most precious gift you can find.” The first brought back a huge gold nugget. The second brought back a ...read more

    Our Lord Jesus died for our sins; arose bodily from the dead; ascended into heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father; from whence He will come again in power and great glory.

    THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD JESUS “Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of ...read more

    The ascension, enthronement, and return of Jesus.

    THE LORD UPON HIS THRONE. Psalm 93. This Psalm is about, first and foremost, the Creator God upon His throne. He is “robed with majesty” (Psalm 93:1). He has also, incidentally, “established” the created order. However, we are not to worship the creation (I interject), as it is only the ...read more

    To establish that the 12 apostles alone received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with power on the first Pentecost after Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into the heavens. This lesson identifies the "subjects" of this baptism and its empowering on Pentecost.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Luke's Narrative of The Day of Pentecost Introductory Remarks. 1. First, to avoid preaching again, the sermon entitled: "Ye Shall Receive Power.” I have removed point three of that lesson, which reviews Jesus' promise to the 11 apostles about the Holy Ghost ...read more

     | 51,130 views

    A sermon about Heaven, meant to offer comfort and hope. One of the last discourses that Jesus made before his crucifixion was on Heaven to comfort His disciples.

    HEAVEN FUNERAL SERMON John 14:1-3 Intro. We use the word “Heaven” in our conversation but few have given much thought to what Heaven is. Let me share with you some words of comfort about Heaven. I. HEAVEN IS A REAL PLACE 1. Twice in this passage Jesus calls it a place. He made this statement ...read more

    The Shedding Abroad Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2017

     | 4,201 views

    Acts 2 verses 33-35 are strangely, and sadly, not found anywhere in the weekly lectionary. I have sought to address them here, in their immediate context.

    THE "SHEDDING ABROAD" OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 2:32-36. This is a compact set of verses, brim-full of theological gems: i. The crucifixion of Jesus (Acts 2:36); ii. His resurrection (Acts 2:32); and iii. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33). The passage is also ...read more

     | 736 views

    At Christ’s enthronement a transfer of authority took place. What Adam lost through disobedience – Christ regained through obedience! However, even though Satan is no longer “the ruler of this world,” he isn’t going to give it up without a fight and war erupts in heaven.

    May 11, 2024 The 3rd and final section of Revelation opens with the 4th introductory Sanctuary Scene of the book: Revelation 11:19 - Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.

    Go The First Ten Feet

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 8, 2017
     | 4,548 views

    Self-denial is to be lifted with Jesus—and the first ten feet of his ascent is on the Cross. You cannot reach for Jesus without letting go of the things you’re holding onto. Make it your passion to go the first ten feet with Jesus.

    "When I am lifted-up," Jesus said, "I will draw all people to myself." And just in case you are tempted to interpret this up-lifted status to mean something glitzy, John sticks in a little commentary in verse 33 to make clear that the "lifting up" Jesus had in mind was the cross. Ultimately Jesus ...read more

    As Jesus ascends to heaven he blesses the disciples. This blessing is the sign of the many benefits which the ascension of Jesus gives to us.

    Message Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11 Our King Jesus Ascends into Heaven Let’s start straight away by reading the last few verses of Luke. Luke 24:50-53 We don’t really get indications of when this took place or the full extent of what happened when Jesus went to heaven. Indeed, we could almost be ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Have To Return To Heaven?

    Couldn’t Jesus have stayed on earth and God would have done all that?

    Ascension Thoughts 2025 Why did Jesus ascend into heaven? Wouldn’t it be better if He remained here on earth. And, besides, Matthew records that He said “Behold, I am with you always, even until the end of days.” We know that when the Church celebrates the Ascension, forty days after Easter, we ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 30,876 views

    To establish Jesus’ promise to the apostles that “ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you,” this promise was fulfilled on the first Pentecost, after Christ's resurrection and ascension into the heavens. This truth is impossible for the true believer to deny.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Joel’s Prophecy: “I will pour out of my Spirit.” 2. John’s Prediction: “Ye shall be baptized.” 3. Jesus’ Promise: “Ye shall receive power.” Introductory Remarks. 1.

    cts 1:4-8 outlines the purpose of Christ’s ascension into heaven and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1 gives the exit strategy of Jesus. Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem until they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (verse 4)

    Empowered for a Purpose Acts 1:4-8 The last chapter of Luke and the first chapter of Acts Dr. Luke testifies to the final words of Jesus and His ascension into heaven. Why didn’t Jesus continue His ministry on earth? He rose from the dead. Why didn’t He continue to lead His disciples in ...read more

    Exhorts Christians to get to work for Jesus instead of just waiting and watching.

    Why Stand Ye Gazing Up into Heaven? Acts 1:4-11 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
