Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 18, Question #49 | The Benefits of Christ's Ascension Join Pastor Jason Van Bemmel from Forest Hill Presbyterian Church as we wrap up Ascension Week! In today's devotional (Question 49 of the Heidelberg Catechism), we explore the profound gospel comfort found in Christ's ascension into heaven. Discover the three amazing benefits of Jesus ascending on high: having a righteous Advocate before the Father, having our human flesh in heaven as a sure pledge of our future glory, and receiving the Holy Spirit to help us set our minds on things above.
