What is the significance of the ascension of Christ? Ascension Day was this past Thursday and some churches celebrated it with a special mid-week Ascension service. Also this Sunday some churches will give special attention to this theme in their preaching. The Ascension itself is an act of triumph and victory. The glory of Christ's ascension is that we now have a Prophet, Priest and King enthroned in the heavens, and our risen Lord is now accessible to all men everywhere. The ascension marks the inauguration of a new order. Participants: Dr. Kevin Chiarot, Dan Elmendorf
