Steve and Rich are back to it this week talking about the ascension. This is a very theologically significant event. The first thing that is significant about the ascension is the fact that His work in salvation was completed. The ascension also reminds us that heaven is a place - Jesus had to go somewhere! The future hope provided through the atonement is seen through this. Furthermore, the ascension points ahead to Jesus' final work when He returns. The spirit indwelling in Christ followers was brought about by this event. His mercy and grace was extended to us. Jesus' public display of victory does not just include the resurrection - it also includes the ascension. He not only came out of the tomb, but He visibly and bodily ascended to heaven. He is the Lord and victor. Certainly a significant event! You will have a deeper appreciation for the ascension after listening to this episode.
