Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
The ascension of Jesus into the heavens is one of the most important things for our faith. Why, because it is important for us to remember that Jesus did not die again. Jesus, upon being raised from the dead, did not live out the rest of his days and pass on to a quiet sleep like the rest of us will. No, Jesus went back to heaven, the place he came from in the first place. And this important for us because what it means is that Jesus is still doing his ministry. Jesus is still praying for us, lifting us up before God; Jesus is still teaching us, through the power of the Holy Spirit Jesus speaks to us and guides us; Jesus still heals us, through his eternal presence in our lives Jesus continues to lift our burdens off of us. The good news for the day is that Jesus is still alive, he is still in heaven continuing his ministry? God bless you.
