Tables & Sinners – The Ascension
Luke 24:36-43 // Jesus eats with the disciples, teaches them, commissions them, and then leaves them. The ascension joined earth to heaven! Christ’s ascension reinstates what was lost in the garden – intimacy, purpose, and power. We believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible!
Reflection Questions
‘Hard to believe’ and ‘doubt’ are different from ‘unbelief’. What are some areas that you struggle to believe? What are some things you do to keep fighting for faith and truth?
God is on a restoration journey. How can you – in your specific sphere – be a bringer of heaven to earth? What can you do to advance the Kingdom of heaven in your workplace, family circle, neighborhood and city?
We are hidden in Christ and He Himself is making intercession for us. What does that mean for our identity and security? What areas – outside of Christ – are you most tempted to find your identity and value?
Spend some time praying for each other for the enabling of the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, to empower us to resist sin, fight the good fight and become more like Christ.
