A birth. A ministry. A death. A resurrection. An ascension. And now... what? What is Jesus doing right now? And where is he doing it? Are you a preacher wondering what on earth you can possibly say new and interesting on Ascension this year-to say nothing of all the Ascensions that lie ahead of you? Are you a churchgoer curious about this little odd holiday stranded on a Thursday between Easter and Pentecost? Are you of a scientific mindframe, perpetually stressed out by the thought of Jesus rocketing up to the outer stratosphere like an out-of-control hot air balloon? If you answered yes to a...
A birth. A ministry. A death. A resurrection. An ascension. And now... what? What is Jesus doing right now? And where is he doing it? Are you a preacher wondering what on earth you can possibly say new and interesting on Ascension this year-to say nothing of all the Ascensions that lie ahead of you? Are you a churchgoer curious about this little odd holiday stranded on a Thursday between Easter and Pentecost? Are you of a scientific mindframe, perpetually stressed out by the thought of Jesus rocketing up to the outer stratosphere like an out-of-control hot air balloon? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Forty Facets of the Ascension needs to be at the top of your reading list! Questions about the Ascension answered in this book: + Why is up better than down? + Why do Luke and Acts both have Ascension stories... but not identical ones? + Was it really forty days later? + Why don't any other New Testament authors depict the Ascension, like Luke does? + Or rather, why does Luke breach the reserve and depict the Ascension when nobody else did? + If Luke is the only one to depict the Ascension, why does he studiously avoid using the word "ascend"? + Who are the "two men" that appear at Jesus' Ascension? If they're not angels, why doesn't Luke tell us who they are? + Whose ascension is Jesus' Ascension absolutely nothing like? (Not a trick question, but a tricky question for sure.) + Is the Ascension necessary? Isn't the Resurrection enough? + While we're at it, what does Jesus' Ascension have to do with being exalted to the right hand of the Father? Is that a separate thing or the same thing? + Why is Jesus' self-sacrifice incomplete until his Ascension? + Is the ascended Jesus absent from the earth? If not, how can he possibly be present and still be his risen human self? + What is Jesus doing right now?
