The Ascension — Part Two

Selected Scriptures  (ID: 2374)

Nearly two thousand years have passed since Christ’s ascension. Does it still matter in the contemporary believer’s life? Alistair Begg comforts us with the conviction that because of the ascension, Jesus is not absent but all the more present and is presently pleading our case to His Father. We can therefore have a deep assurance, knowing that He will ensure that what He died for—the redemption of His own and their ultimate glory in His presence—has been completed.
