Lord's Day 18

An in depth look at the facts and the benefits of the ascension of Christ for the Christian

The Angels were in wonder as Christ our God ascended into Heaven. They were in wonder because, in Him, humanity reentered Paradise for the first time since mankind was banished from Paradise at the fall. Can you imagine it? The Angels behold Christ in human form, enter Paradise, ascend beyond even them, and be seated on the "throne of glory," as St. Leo the Great taught. How far the Word of God went to restore us to our rightful condition and our rightful home. In Christ, we are all kept before the Father for all eternity that we may be saved and with Him, where He is, for all eternity.

This week Dion van Breda reminds us of the importance of the ascension of Jesus Christ following His death and resurrection. Because of this we have hope in His return and our place in Heaven for eternity.Acts 1: 6 - 11 (NIV)Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

For Ascension Sunday, Pastor Nicoletti preaches a sermon on “The Ascension of Christ and the Hope of the Church” from Ephesians 1:15-23.

Pastor Derek explores the 1st Ascension of Christ on the morning of His resurrection after appearing to Mary Magdalene (John 20:17). He ascended a 2nd time 40 days later, as described in Acts 1, after which He sat down at God's right hand. The 4 Purposes for His 1st Ascension: *1. To fulfil the Feast of First Fruits on the day of His resurrection (1Corinthians 15:20-23). *2. To present His BLOOD in the heavenly holy of holies, to establish the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:12). *3. To receive ALL AUTHORITY (Matthew 28:18, Daniel 7:13-14, Philippians 2:9-11): *4. To receive the SPIRIT on our behalf, to give to His people (Acts 2:33). That is why He could impart the Spirit to His apostles later on the same day He rose again (John 20:22).

Acts 1:1-10 The ascension of Christ marks the countdown to his return He was taken to heaven because he is the rightful heir of all things He will return from heaven because he is the rightful king over all things

The ascension of Jesus raises questions: Why did Jesus have to leave in order for the Spirit to be given? Why did Jesus say it was better that He go away in order for the Spirit to come? After addressing some of these important questions, we then look at the ascension through these three lenses: The Ascension of Our King The Ascension of Our Priest The Ascension of Our Prophet You can watch this message here.

In this final message from The Road to the Resurrection, we look at one of the most overlooked moments in the story of Jesus: the Ascension. What happened after the resurrection, and what is Jesus doing right now? In this message, we explore the 40 days following Easter, the meaning of Jesus being seated at the right hand of the Father, and why it matters for our lives today. If you've ever felt like Jesus is distant, like the weight is back on you, or wondered who is really in control, this message is for you. The Ascension reminds us that Jesus didn't disappear—He is reigning, ruling, and actively at work right now.

Pastor Derek explores the 2 Ascensions of Christ.

Please Join us with Pastor Matt Irving as we explore the Ascension of Christ from Luke 24:36-53.

The sermon centers on the theological significance of Christ's ascension as the pivotal second step in His exaltation, emphasizing that His departure was not a loss but a necessary act of divine provision for humanity. Drawing from John 20:17, it unfolds the ascension as a triumphant, public, and purposeful event—Christ ascending as forerunner, intercessor, and source of spiritual gifts—thereby securing salvation, enabling the Holy Spirit's outpouring, and opening heaven for believers. The sermon underscores that Christ ascended by His own divine power, not merely as a human, but as the Head of the Church, fulfilling prophecy, establishing His intercession, and preparing a place for His people. It calls believers to live with heavenly-mindedness, to value the Spirit's work, and to pursue holiness, knowing that Christ's ascension is both a promise of future glory and a present source of comfort, strength, and spiritual empowerment.

This Sunday, Pastor Mike Nolen continues the God-Man series with a message titled, "The Ascension of Christ."

Today, we dug into the profound significance of Christ's Ascension, a pivotal moment often overshadowed by Easter and Pentecost. This event marks not just an ending, but a powerful beginning of a new era in God's redemptive plan. As we explore Luke 24 and Acts 1, we see Jesus blessing His disciples while ascending, demonstrating His ongoing intercession for us. The Ascension reminds us that Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father, reigning over all principalities and powers. This truth should fill us with hope and confidence in our daily struggles. Just as the disciples were lovingly rebuked for gazing up at the sky, we too are called to action. Our gaze upon Christ should propel us into Spirit-empowered ministry, transforming every aspect of our lives into worship. Let's embrace this ascension reality, allowing it to shape our perspective and fuel our mission in this world.

The Ascension wasn't merely Jesus leaving the Earth, but the God-man sitting in authority and power on His eternal throne.  Related Resource What Would You Say?: Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead? ____________ Join the Colson Center as a Cornerstone Partner at colsoncenter.org/monthly.

SUNDAY SERMON-PASTOR NATHANThis Lord's Day we will continue our series of messages from the book of Acts. Today's message is titled: "The Ascension of Christ" Acts 1:9-11

Title: The Ascension of Christ Speaker: Dr. H. T. Spence Event: Annual Bible Conference Date: April 20, 2025 Summary: Scripture: Acts 1:8–14 Length:

Exodus 19:1–10 Jeremiah 23:23–24 John 14:1–7 Romans 8:31–35Matt Walkenhorst (pastoral intern from Ascension Reformed Church) opens up the doctrine of Christ's ascension into heaven.

This was the greatest promotion a man ever received. It was the testimony heard round the world. There was a long History of events that led up to this victory. Yeshua wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Movies teach us and help us connect to culture. Jesus isn't a normal Hero. Most people think Jesus is much more like Superman than Batman. The transfiguration could have been the end. Jesus isn't the Savior the world wants; he's the Savior the world needs. Hebrews 12:28 Hebrews 4:14-16 Acts 2:36 Acts 2:21 Acts 10:34-46 Acts 17:31The post Christ Series 4: Ascension of Christ first appeared on Living Hope.

The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return—but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ: Recovering a Neglected Doctrine (Lexham Press), Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world. Dr. Patrick Schreiner is Associate Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross and Matthew, Disciple and Scribe.
