The King is Here: The Ascension

On Sunday we concluded our Luke series after four years.   After His resurrection, Jesus appears to his disciples to help them understand that the whole Jewish story finds its fulfillment in Him. He then commissions them with a message and a method.   The message that the Resurrection gives us is repentance and forgiveness. These are the two miraculous roads that bring heaven to earth.    The method Jesus gives us, is to wait for the Holy Spirit. He said it was better for Him to go to the Father so He could send his Spirit to be our advocate and our helper. Our posture in all of life is to wait on and be led by the Holy Spirit.    The Resurrection of Jesus makes all of this possible and it’s our privilege to live a life of union with Him.
