Jesus: Risen and Ascended

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Bek & John Hidson, Josh Hennessey Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the fourth topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - Jesus: Risen And Ascended. Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations. The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the fourth line of The Creed: “On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven” If there is no resurrection, then Christianity has no hope, and we ought to be pitied because of our belief and "weird" behaviour. Similarly, if Jesus did not ascend to heaven, then he is not ruling, and we are submitting to a lie. However, if Jesus did rise again and is seated in heaven then our entire lives and actions must be modelled around that belief. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
