Bible Question: what does jesus ascension mean for me |
Bible Answer: It is interesting how we tend to think in terms of what there is in it for me. It might be good to think for a moment on what the ascension meant for him. He had left the glories of heaven to come to this earth where he was despised and rejected and crucified. Is it not nice for him that he could return to heaven and to the position he had before? But yes, there is something in it for you if you have trusted him as your Savior. Because he has ascended, the Comforter has come (John 16:7), the Holy Spirit who lives in us (John 14:17). Because he has ascended, we also have gifts with which to serve him (Ephesians 4:8). He ascended so he could prepare a place for us (John 14:3). He ascended so he could be at the right hand of God to make intercession for us (1 John 2:1) and so he can save those who come to God through him (Hebrews 7:25). Because of his ascension “We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour” (Hebrews 2:9). And yes, he is coming back to receive us (John 14:3), and we will share in his glory (John 14:24). |
