Come worship with us at Trinity on Thursday at 6:30pm to celebrate an important event in the life of Christ. When the Church gathers, it regularly remembers Christ's ascension. The words “He ascended into heaven” are found in all three ecumenical creeds we use to confess our faith. In addition, the Church sets aside a day each year on which this event takes center stage. This is for good reason. Jesus’ ascension marked the fact that his work was complete. Never again will a sacrifice for sin need to be made. However, Jesus ascension also marks that Christ’s work is just beginning. Through the Church, Jesus now proclaims forgiveness throughout the world. The Church consists of people like us who are often weak and timid witnesses for Christ. So, Jesus promised to send us his Spirit to give us power from heaven, that we might take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
