TOPIC: He Was Taken Up
READ: Luke 24:49-53 (NKJV)
“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.
THE MESSAGE:
Ascension teaches us that Christ physically departed from earth on the 40th Day after His resurrection. He ascended into Heaven, in the presence of eleven of His disciples. The Ascension signifies the Kingship of Christ, victorious accomplishment of His mission of salvation, supremacy over the law of gravity, fulfilment of God’s word (Acts 26:23) and assurance that believers will ascend like Him during the rapture. He ascended to give gifts to men for the perfection of the saints and for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:10-12). He ascended to sit at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high, far above all principalities, powers and every name and rank that is named both now and forever, Hallelujah! (Hebrews 1:3-4).
He blessed His disciples and God through the ascension, validated the message of Christ as Messiah (Acts 17:3). The disciples responded to His ascension by worshipping Him. His ascension teaches us to worship Him as Messiah, to have confidence in His supremacy over earthly forces that trouble us and the hope of rising with Him if we are truly born again and are living right. Are you ready to ascend when the trumpet sounds to call the saints unto the marriage supper of the Lamb?
PRAYER: Ask for God’s enablement to be prepared when the trumpet sounds for the rapture of the saints.
