Forward In Christ
May 2012
Ascension Day is a Christian festival that often can be overlooked. It falls on a Thursday, 40 days after Easter - just far enough away that the glow of Jesus' resurrection may be starting to grow dim in our minds and hearts.
But that's all the more reason to celebrate the physical departure of Jesus from this world. Pastor Paul Brug shows us how the amazing event of Jesus ascending into heaven assures us that the God-man has completed our salvation and continues to rule in our lives at the right hand of his Father. Read the article.
The Ascension also reminds us that Jesus is coming back. But that doesn't mean that we should just sit around and wait. Dr. John Lawrenz shares what the disciples did after they saw their Savior leave this world and offers three simple guidelines for us too. Pull out your Bible and open it to Second Peter as you read Lawrenz's article, "As you see the day approaching."
God's blessings as you continue to let your light shine as you await Jesus' return.
