The Ascension Restores to Us Our Original Purpose (Mt 28:16-20)

About this episode

This episode discusses how the Ascension restores humanity's original purpose of caring for creation, guided by Christ's direction and power.

Adam and Eve were originally given the task to care for the Earth and all creation and to keep everything in accord with God's plan. That is the task they forfeited, and Christ fulfilled, and now He once again shares with us that vocation. But now we are not left alone to do that, we have the direction and the power of Jesus guiding his church on earth until he comes again.
