The ascension of Christ

Preacher: Rev Graham Fryer

Verses: Acts 1: 1-11

Beloved … as many of you would know … this past Thursday was Ascension Day … the celebration of Christ ascending into heaven after His death and resurrection ... Ascension Day is observed primarily in Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and it occurs on the Thursday 40 days after Easter. Ascension Day is also known as the Feast of Ascension. The story of Jesus’ Ascension is told in Luke chapter 24, Mark chapter 16 … and Acts chapter 1 … and when we put these accounts together … we will find that after Jesus’ resurrection … He appeared several times to His disciples and others. Taking this time to teach them more about the kingdom of God
