FROM THE VICAR’S DESK

Beloved ones in Christ,

Greetings to you all in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

ASCENSION In the month of May, (May 30) the church celebrates the Ascension of our Lord, which happend forty days after his resurrection (Acts 1:3).

Ascension – Entry into Glory Jesus’ Ascension was a triumphant entry into glory after defeating

sin and death. It not only reveals the glorious entry of the Christ to the father’s presence, it further opens up the doors of heaven to all those who believe in Him.

Ascension – Empowering the Faithful Jesus had promised the disciples to send the Holy spirit to them,

to strengthen and enlighten them (John 14: 16, 26) Ascension was not abandoning the disciples but making them ready to receive the Holy Spirit, the source of strength.

Ascension – Expectation of Jesus’ coming again The disciples who witnessed Jesus’ Ascension also received the

promise of His coming again (Acts 1:9-11). Thus the church lives between two advents – incarnation and second coming. The message of Ascension gives us hope and empowers us to fulfill the task (Matthew 28: 19, 20) given to us by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

“Easter is incomplete, Pentecost is impeded, and the second coming is impossible without the ASCENSION.”

May God bless us all.

Rev. Sojee Vergis John
