    Ascension 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 5,409 views

    The description of the ascension of Jesus to heaven is an interesting one. It shows us how consumed we may be with the world and its values instead of being consumed with the Kingdom of God and the mission which Jesus gave to us.

    This coming Thursday is the day that some churches celebrate as Ascension Day because we know that Jesus appeared among His disciples for forty days after His resurrection and then He ascended into heaven. Normally we would celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven on the Sunday after ...read more
