ASCENSION DAY?
What Day!?!? some may ask.
Its a glorious celebration of the universal Christian Church, when we remember that Jesus, 40 days after his resurrection, went back to heaven to be received there as the Lord of all and crowned the King of the church!
We believe that Jesus Christ, after crucified for our sins, and after dying and being buried, saw no bodily corruption, but was raised again on the third day. In his risen life, we live anew, and have God’s firm promise that we too will be raised from the dead.
The same Jesus, in the same body in which he rose, went to heaven, where, as our High Priest, he continually intercedes for us. He works for our benefit in a position where he has all the power and authority, ‘at the right hand of God’, because he is Lord over all and he is the Head of the Church.
I PRAY THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL TODAY ATTEND AN ASCENSION DAY SERVICE TO WORSHIP, PRAISE AND HONOUR CHRIST, OUR KING AND LORD!
I pray that it will be a celebratory service, where music, singing, praise and worship glorify Him who reigns with all the authority of heaven - yet reigns with crucified hands, with mercy, grace and atoning love.
Exalt our King, because we commemorate his glorious enthronement on the throne of our God of grace!
