For me, the Easter story is not completed until Jesus ascended to Heaven and was seated at the right hand of the Father. Here is the final scene from our upcoming Easter presentation. More will be added to fill in some of the details, but here is the bare bones.
The Ascension
Before leaving their sight
for the last time, Jesus made a promise to send “another Comforter” to live IN
us, to comfort us, to empower us to be witnesses, to guide us, to teach us.
This was to be the Seal of the New Covenant. It was the earnest of our
inheritance. Jesus was coming again, but until He comes the Holy Spirit will
abide in us forever!
Each one had a choice to
make. Go back to their “normal” lives, or begin a new life of telling how “I
once was lost but now I’m found.” Each one that took on the New Covenant with
its sign of baptism, and its seal of the Holy Spirit, has the God-given purpose
of being Ambassadors for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Now our heart’s cry is
Maranatha! He has come, and is coming again!
