Ascension Day

Ascension Day 2013:

Christians ought to mark their days with days of remembrance; and Ascension day is one of those days. The ascension of our Lord, Jesus is a truly significant day to remember, because, if  Jesus never ascended into heaven, then He would've been a liar, as He continually said I'm going to my Father (John 14:28).

Had Jesus not ascended to heaven, then there would be a giant memorial and temple built over His grave site, thus Christianity would be like every other religion. However, 2,000 years later and experts still aren't certain what tomb Jesus was temporarily buried in. The reason for this is, Jesus rose from the dead, and no one cared to go visit an empty tomb. Jesus was most certainly popular, and were he still dead, and laid in the tomb, hundreds even thousands of people would've come to his tomb.  However we know this not to be true.

If you didn't mark ascension day on your calendar, next year take the time to remember this wonderful day, and celebrate with your family.


Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,  will  come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."

Next week is pentecost Sunday May 19th.

Be on the lookout for my blog on this important day.

Coram Deo,
