This Week at Living Faith – May 14th edition
Luke 24:50-53 (New International Version)
The Ascension
50When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
This Sunday is “Ascension Sunday” – a day which commemorates when Christ physically left the earth and ascended into heaven. After rising from the dead, Jesus remained on earth for 40 days, but then His disciples witnessed His miraculous ascent into the heavenly realm.
This is a confusing event. We are left with several questions: Where did Christ go? Where is heaven? Is it a geographical location or a state of mind? These are some of the questions we are going to explore as we worship together this Sunday at Living Faith. I hope you’ll come and join us.
May Christ’s peace be with you,
Heather
