Taken Up By the Clouds

At the end of His 40 day ministry on earth after the resurrection, Christ publicly ascended from earth into heaven in the sight of His apostles. While the apostles were gazing into the heavens watching Christ depart from this earth, two heavenly messengers appeared and gave the apostles their marching orders. The thrust of the angelic message is that the ascension of Christ fundamentally changes the times, requiring action rather than inactivity. This message examines both the details and the implications of Jesus' bodily ascension.
