Post Resurrection Appearances - Luke 24:50-53 & Acts 1:1-11

About this episode

This episode explains the biblical account of Jesus’ ascension and its significance in the resurrection calendar and connection to Pentecost.

This episode explains the biblical account of Jesus’ ascension (Luke 24; Acts 1), its timing in the resurrection calendar, and its connection to Pentecost. The speaker highlights three key roles Jesus assumes in the ascension: great high priest, returning King Messiah, and bridegroom of the church, focusing on the first two. Using Hebrews and Psalm 110, the message shows how the ascension secures atonement in the heavenly tabernacle, establishes Jesus at God’s right hand, and sets the stage for his future return and the fulfillment of the kingdom. Listeners are urged to live faithfully in the ‘between’ time, awaiting his coming.
