| Ascension |
| “The working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:19-21). |
| One of the glorious truths of Christianity is the ascension of the Lord Jesus back to heaven to sit down on the right hand of God, having completed the work that His Father had given Him to do. That is, the work of redemption! His joy was to do the Father’s will and to return to the Father as a glorified Man. He had this before Him throughout His whole life on earth. This is really the meaning of the statement, “Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). |
| Today we look back to Calvary to remember that great work, but we also look up and worship an ascended Man, while we look forward to the time when we will see Him face to face. |
