The Ascension (Part 1 of 3)

When most of us explain the Gospel, we focus on Jesus’ death and resurrection. We don’t think of His ascension as a critical part of the story. But on Truth For Life, Alistair Begg explains that without the ascension, we can misunderstand God’s plan for mankind.

Acts 1:1-11, Luke 24:50-53

What Now?

If Christ’s death was the end of His life, then the Christian message is the greatest hoax in history. But what if Jesus truly was resurrected, and He continues to live, work, and reign today? How would that reality transform the lives of His followers? In this series, Alistair Begg walks us through the dismal days following Jesus’ death, the disciples’ shocking discovery that He was alive, and His final, extraordinary departure from the earth. We will learn why we can trust the Bible’s account of these events, why salvation hinges upon Christ’s resurrection, and why we can rest in the knowledge that He never forsakes His own. As Scripture tells us, Jesus continues to advocate for His people today, pleading our case at the right hand of His Father. Our risen Savior gives us every reason to share the Good News with a lost and questioning world. Related resources: "Easter Letter from Alistair Begg and Related Content"
