The Ascended Christ

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Hebrews 4:9-16

We have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. —Hebrews 4:14

Today is Ascension Day—a day that is often neglected. Coming 40 days after Easter, it marks the occasion when the risen Christ ascended to the Father in glory.

W. H. Griffith Thomas writes in The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: “The ascension is not only a great fact of the New Testament, but a great factor in the life of Christ and Christians, and no complete view of Jesus Christ is possible unless the ascension and its consequences are included.”

Thomas then summarizes what the ascension means to believers. It speaks of an accomplished redemption (Heb. 8:1), the Savior’s high-priestly work (Heb. 4:14), His lordship over the church (Eph. 1:22), His intercession for us with His heavenly Father (1 Tim. 2:5), the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:33), the Lord’s presence with us today (Matt. 28:20), and the expectation of His return to this earth (1 Thess. 4:16).

Think of it! Jesus not only died, but He rose from the grave, went back to the Father, and is interceding for us right now. And He is coming again.

May this Ascension Day be a time for special rejoicing and thanksgiving to God

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore. —Chapman

Jesus who died to save us now lives to keep us.

Bible in One Year:   1 Chronicles 1-3; John 5:25-47

[The Mayor]

Excellent.... Those comics really make the presentation.
On a serious note, what the Democrats are doing to this country is dangerous. I found this article last night and it really spells out where we are. http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?page=article&id=3166

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor
Thank you for the scripture for today.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning :)

Thank you so much for another brilliant essay.

[GodBlessUSA]

Absolutely. It so scary what they are doing. I will go read the link.

[The Mayor]

Morning... Yes, I found that link and that site the other day. It is updated all the time so I kept it in my favorites.

[DollyCali]

Good morning everyone!!!! Coolish here & rainy yesterday which was good as the pollen has been knocked down a bit. I have been pretty sick with allergy related symptoms for several days. Couldn't sleep due to congestion & blocked nose & severe headaches.

. Posted a thread yesterday (cinema)which was an HTML disaster but just couldn't see straight to correct any more. Did work hours on it to get it where it was formatting wise.(hostess, you know what I mean). Most of data was left out & will inclued next few weeks. Not sure how long this particular effort will continue. We lost quite a few of our contributors /editiors who have been banned or left due to the situations at FR. MANY of those on ping list are also gone. It has affected most regular threads severely. Time will tell

JH2 & Dutchess.. such a fine job to both of you as usual. Thank you.

and Rus , thanks for the message from God's word. I like the Java Bear best so far of the graphics you have used

I am VERY EXCITED to be going to the Princess Diana Exhibit at the Western Reserve Historical Society tomorrow

Diana Exhibit WRHS

It is a girls day out. 7 of us will go together & have LATE lunch afterward.

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks. I saved to favorites also. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

I saw your thread yesterday and it is fantastic Dolly!

I’m so glad it rained here and did the same.

Have a wonderful time tomorrow. I will check out your link. :)

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Aquamarine; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[DollyCali]

Thanks Gee Bee.. Is the music still good? (300 etc).. I lost so much with computer problems & want to hilight 300 next week if I get my act together.

I am officiating at my aunt’s memorial service Sat of Mem weekend. LOTS to get ready in prep of that.. so that will take the priority , so the 300 & follow up ping for cinema might wait until early june

[dutchess]

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Dolly
I have them on server still. Just double check in case I accidentally deleted one. If you need any new link, no trouble at all. Freepmail and I’ll have it for you in no time.

Very sorry to read about your Aunt. My thoughts and prayers for you.

[MEG33]

Just terrific, dutchess, John and pookie!!
Thank you.

[Diver Dave]

Who's your Dad-ullah?

From the title alone I just knew this was gonna be a great read. Thanks to the both of you.

BTW, some guy took issue with my letter last week - says it was "mean-spirited" and served no purpose. Guess I pushed the right buttons. :)
