We celebrate Ascension Day 40 days after Easter and 10 days before Pentecost. We celebrate that Jesus was taken up into heaven 40 days after his resurrection from the dead. In the Creed we say that we believe in Jesus who "ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty". Jesus' ascension marks the end of his life on earth. In the church we celebrate not only that God's Son was born into the world but also that he left it again. This may sound strange. However, God had to leave the earth as a human being to be able to return in the person of the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the coming of God the Spirit at Pentecost.
“Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.” Philippians 2: 9
Jesus of Nazareth has ascended to rule and reign for his Father over all things for the good of his people. We may no longer see him, but he is still with us - just like we carry our spouses in us all the time.
Question: Will you join us to proclaim the Ascension of Jesus on 1st June at 9:30 a.m.
