St. John's Anglican Church, Canton Ohio

The Ascension of Jesus to the right hand of the Father reveals that He is our only Mediator and Advocate. Last Sunday we heard a portion of Jesus' prayer to the Father, His present and future disciples, but also for the sake of the world. His prayer revealed the divine will for oneness. What does this oneness look like and how might we catch it for ourselves today?

This past Sunday we focused our attention towards the Suffering Servant from the prophet Isaiah. How does the Holy One relate to sinful people like you and me? The great surprise is that it is through His suffering. Come and behold your suffering servant.
