Alex Kremer 02-12-2023 // We Believe...He Ascended into Heaven

Many of us remember a time as children when the preview of the latest Star Wars movie  installment aired on television.  The trailers left us with the eager anticipation of the promised event.  We often wished the date would come much sooner than the actual date.

In today's lesson, we take a look ahead at what is to come.  In last week's lesson, we considered the first part of the third article of our statement of faith, "We Believe – Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. Further, He arose bodily from the dead..."

This morning, we consider the second part of this article, "He ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of God the Father, He is now the Head of the church and intercedes for all believers. In the future, He will take the Church – both the dead and living believers – to be with Himself. Later, He will come to Earth to establish His Kingdom."

We thank you for listening to today's lesson.  We invite you to check out our statement of faith online at, https://atlanticgospelchapel.com/statement-of-faith/.

May the Lord bless you through the teaching of His Word.
