Come Join Us In Worship

From the Easter story, we know that Jesus was crucified and buried. He then rose from the dead. Hallelujah! But now what??? What happens after???

One of the most significant periods of the church calendar, and least celebrated, is the 40 days after Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus walked and talked in places where His ministry had been; He was seen in His restored body by thousands; He healed many; He continued to preach, He continued to love. And then He ascended to Heaven, taken up in the sky, which also was witnessed by others.

For 40 days Jesus showed the world that He lived again. Prior to His crucifixion, the Sanhedrin had called Jesus a blasphemer, and others claimed His miracles were of the devil… but the 40 days after His resurrection in Jerusalem and surrounding areas, being seen by multitudes, was scarcely disputed.

We really should think more about these 40 days, and the significance of the Ascension. Jesus' birth had been according to Scripture. His miracles had shown His power. His preaching had taught the world wisdom. His persecution and death had fulfilled prophecies. That He conquered death was an astonishing miracle. But His ascension to Heaven – His bodily rise to be with God – more than any detail of these other manifestations, confirms the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

Join us as we explore what happened after Easter.
