Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
Forty days after Jesus Christ was raised from the dead He returned to His Father.
He came from God the Father and now that His work on earth was completely completed, He was returning to His Father, having been away some 33 years.
God the Father had accepted the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb. Jesus willingly laid down His perfect life and shed His blood to wash away man’s sin.
There is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood.
Jesus led His disciples to the Mount of Olives from where He ascended.
As the disciples watched intently, a cloud enveloped and received the ascending Christ. Angels appeared explaining what was happening, and speaking of how He would return in a similar manner.
The ascension of Jesus can remain a mystery to many. It is not so well known as other events in the life of Jesus. To some it remains a problem. It need not be.
There is rejoicing at His birth, but understanding the significance of His departure is even more challenging, but need not be.
He was alive before He was born, and He continues to live after His death. Jesus is unique in various ways!
He left His chosen men with a unique promise. Ten days later that promise was kept and fulfilled, and remains available to all today who wish to avail themselves of God’s anointing power.
It happened, and it continues to happen.
A medical doctor records the ascension of Jesus Christ twice, and reports of how Jesus will return to the Mount of Olives. This is the next great event on God’s calendar.
We do not know exactly when it will happen, but there is one thing we can be sure of, it will.
