Think back to the last time you were in an
airport...(I know it might have been a while thanks to
Covid). As you entered the terminal you were greeted
with giant screens letting you know the arrival and departure of
flights throughout the day. These boards helped guide us to where
we need to be.
Arrival and Departures are also important for us to
think about when it comes to Jesus.
We spend a lot of time around Christmas thinking
about Jesus' arrival on
earth. His arrival on earth ushered in our opportunity
to have our sin forgiven and our relationship with God the Father
restored. We should be eternally grateful for his
arrival, but...
But often we don't spend time on how important his departure was
to our life and faith as well. You can read about his
departure in Luke 24 and Acts 1. As humble as his arrival was
his departure gives followers of Jesus hope and a calling
moving forward.
Give a listen to our worship minister Nick Ehlts will be sharing
the importance of the Ascension and why it should matter to us
today.
