S3 Ep81: He is Still Working--Ascension Sunday 2025

In today's sermon, Pastor emphasizes the significance of the ascension of Jesus Christ, which marks His physical and spiritual departure from Earth into the presence of God the Father. He references Hebrews 1:1-4 to illustrate that God has communicated with humanity in various ways throughout history, culminating in the ultimate revelation through His Son, Jesus. This transition from prophetic messages to Christ embodies the fulfillment of God's promise and highlights the profound nature of Jesus as the 'Logos,' the full expression of God. The pastor conveys that the ascension is not merely an endpoint but a pivotal event that opens the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit and the church’s mission on Earth.The sermon also explores the implications of Jesus' earthly experiences and the sacrificial purpose of His coming. Pastor articulates that while the cosmic scale may make humanity feel insignificant, God considers it worth sacrificing His Son for our redemption from sin—a transgression against His law of love. Following the ascension, Jesus continues to work actively, interceding on behalf of believers and preparing a place for them in heaven. By comparing this betrothal to the customs of His time, Pastor illustrates that the church, as the bride of Christ, is called to live in anticipation of His return and be prepared through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate promise is a transformed creation where the faithful will dwell with Him eternally. Pastor concludes by affirming the joyous reality of the ascension and Jesus’s ongoing role in the lives of believers.
