The Ascension of the Lord

The risen Lord Jesus stood before the disciples and promised them that in just a few days they would receive power from the Holy Spirit. Can you imagine how they must have felt?
  • Surely they would have recalled the fear and intimidation they had felt since the crucifixion.
  • Memories of their having abandoned Jesus were probably still fresh in their minds.
  • So how could they even begin to hope that Jesus would give them such an amazing gift?
  • But he kept his promise, and*** their lives were forever changed. ***
Little did they know that Jesus was making a promise that would hold for all people in every age to come

  • —everyone who embraces his gospel of repentance and salvation.
  • When Jesus was on earth, he was limited by his physicality. Having been born a man, he could be in only one place at a time. But now that he was going to heaven,
  • he could send the Spirit to millions of people and work through all of them at the same time.
When the Spirit did come on Pentecost, the disciples touched more than three thousand people in one day—and that was just the beginning! Day by day, and in the centuries to follow, the gospel has spread throughout the whole world by countless disciples.

  • Even today, we are part of this glorious band of witnesses. Through us, Jesus can bring his kingdom to hurting and lost people all over the world.
  • The power of sin can be pushed back as more and more people experience his salvation. In homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods everywhere,
  • Jesus can open hearts—through us!
  • So don’t be afraid to share God’s love.

  • Jesus Christ, the ascended Lord, has given you the very same power that governed his life.
  • And he gave it to you so that you could give it to everyone else.
“Jesus, it is an honor to be called your disciple.
I want to see you exalted today as I proclaim your gospel
with my lips and with my actions.”
