Dr. Kelly B. Burton
The Ascension of Christ is the crowning act of Jesus’ sacrifice. He has blessed us and we return to our place of worship Sunday after Sunday with joy blessing Him in return. When Jesus ascended the Holy Spirit descended just as God planned it. Now we have power to persevere until His return.
This is the way God wants us to read to His Gospel, from start to finish! Thank you for being so patient and persevering to the end of Luke. This is why you are the best people to pastor!

To a place called Heaven.
To a position on a Throne, Revelation 5:11-13.
2. The Holy Spirit descends on God’s people empowering them for ministry Acts 1:8
