May 29 is Ascension Day

REMEMBER 29 MAY IS ASCENSION DAY

 

The fourth most important event in the Christian calendar is Ascension Day. Forty days after Resurrection Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of Christ into Heaven. He is alive forevermore and He is exalted and enthroned at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty. He is above every other name and authority in Heaven and on earth. Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We have an Advocate in Heaven. He hears our prayers. He will crush all His enemies. He will come again. Therefore, we must go and make disciples of all nations.

 

The Ascension is About Authority

The abolition of the long established Ascension Day is very significant because Ascension Day deals with authority. Christ "has gone into Heaven and is at God’s right hand - with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him." 1 Peter 3:22

 

"…All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…" Matthew 28:18-20
