The ascension to the throne The Salvation event The ascension to the throne

The account is found in Acts 1:1-11 This is not a ‘happy ending’ This is the next phase of God’s plan of redemption [Redemption means: to buy – [purchasing a slave for his freedom] to pay a ransom and to pay to end a contract]

Where did Jesus ascend to? 2 Questions, Where did Jesus ascend to? Who saw what happened?

The ascension...... A quiet affair? (Think of Jesus’ birth) A very public affair (Col 2 v 15) Is this good news?

What happened next? He entered the heavenly tabernacle [Hebrews 9 v 1 – 15] He offered His own blood, once for all time Redemption is complete – the price is paid Also He intercedes for us (intervenes on our behalf)

The good news so far...... The Ascension is real Creation saw it Satan and all his demons witnessed it Jesus is the VICTOR. He has all power His blood was offered once for all time for all people – nothing else has to be done..... Except make it apply to you (treasure hunt time)

And, He’s coming back again Some similarities: Same place Not quietly All creation will see Satan will be defeated Restoration of all things

You’ve seen the past and the future, what about the present? Read 2 Corinthians 5 v 17 – 21 carefully: Jesus swaps your old life for a new one A divine gift – He reconciles us to Him Now he wants us to reconcile people to Him The treasure is already there for them (v17) provided they reach out to get it We are His ambassadors

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, but how can they call on Him unless they believe in Him – and how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him. And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them (could this mean us?)

A personal story

Finally remember this..... Jesus came to earth and was born as a man Jesus lived – as a man (Gospels) Jesus died – as a man (Gospels) Jesus rose again – as a man (Gospels) Jesus ascended – as a man (Acts 1) Jesus sits in heaven – as a man (1 Tim 2 v 5) Jesus will return again – as a man (Revelation etc)

Now you can see how much He has given up for us, The question is, what need we set aside for Him in order to be His ambassadors.
