Jesus’ ascension into heaven may be the most neglected cardinal doctrine of the Christian faith. While His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection all feature prominently in our thinking (as they should!), His ascension is often completely forgotten. But Acts 1 teaches us that far from being a secondary event, Jesus’ ascension was an unparalleled exaltation that fueled the life, worship, and witness of the Church for centuries to come, and that continues to fuel the lives of everyone who looks to Him for grace.
