Luke 24:50-53
Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Most often when we think of Jesus and gifts, we focus on His incarnation. Afterall, that’s what Christmas is all about, and Christmas is a terrific holiday in the life of the church. Jesus was born of a virgin. He was gifted from heaven. He condescended to save. At times, it can get a tad too sentimental, leaving some with an impartial picture of our Lord’s accomplishment. His often-overlooked ascension can serve as corrective; it affirms that Jesus achieved all that he came to do. Sunday, we will spotlight on Jesus’ departure and what it means for the child of God. Join us for “The Gift of Christ’s Ascension.”
