Clouds, Thrones, and Glory

About this episode

Fr. Sean and Fr. John explore the mystery of the Ascension and its significance in Christian theology.

Fr. Sean and Fr. John unpack the mystery of the Ascension through the lens of Scripture. Far more than Jesus floating into the sky, the Ascension reveals Christ’s heavenly enthronement as king and high priest. Drawing from Acts 1, Daniel 7, and Hebrews, they explore the cloud of glory, the heavenly Temple, and the heavenly glory.
