Jesus died, Jesus roses again and Jesus will come back for us again

Today is Ascension Day. Ascension Day commemorates Jesus ascending into Heaven 40 days after His resurrection.

During the 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples, teaching them and preparing them for their mission. On the 40th day, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to them and He was  ‘taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.’ (Acts 1:9)

Ascension Day is celebrated on the 40th day after Easter Sunday, which falls on a Thursday. Let us spend time to reflect on the victory of Jesus by defeating sin and death. We live by the promise of His return for us someday.
