"Jesus Christ was crucified and died. His body was buried, and his soul descended to Sheol, not to languish but to liberate the resting saints, not to suffer but to subdue Satan, not to preach but to proclaim just victory over the spirits in prison. In his resurrection and ascension Jesus Christ carried his bride home to heaven., presenting himself as a sacrifice in the holy of holies not made with hands." (Renihan) When you may be tempted to go to Sinai for salvation, or to give up in despair, the Ascension reminds us that through the gospel, our empty hand of faith receives the One who is far above all the heavens; who is filling all things.
