The Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ into Heaven
Acts 1:1-11. Ephesians 1:17-23.Luke 24:44-53

The Word the Father spoke before creation is He who ordered all things in the power and potential of the Father’s will ad loving purpose. Entering in the created world in time He received the body, mind and spirit of humanity, laying aside the privilege, power and splendour of His divine identity. And through obedience and self-giving to the Father - even through adversity, suffering and cruel death - He brought humanity and the whole creation into the potential of perfection and fulfilment in Eternal Love.

I, the Father’s Word Incarnate and incarnate Love, am the Father’s offering to every one of His beloved children born into His glorious world. All who take the garment of salvation which I offer, and wear it in the grace and power of My love become harbingers of Our joy and love to others as they respond to the Word in Love and in self-giving.

Rejoice today and every day that I, your loving, suffering, triumphant Saviour, am present with Father and with Our Holy Spirit and that through My manhood and divine Presence the Father’s will and loving purpose is fulfilled in all faithful and obedient in Our love.
