Today we will reflect on Jesus’ ascension to heaven by focusing on Matthew 28:16-20, Last Instructions Before Returning Home. Jesus returns home to heaven 40 days after his resurrection from the dead. Jesus is going home to claim his crown as King of kings; to take up the authority he has been given and take his place on the throne beside God his Father. Before he leaves, he gathers with his disciples and gives them one last command, “Go and make disciples of all nations.” This command is the main mission of the church still today.
