The King over all

There a few days on the calendar that usually pass by without notice that really deserve recognition. One of these is Ascension Day.

The Day of Ascension is the 40th day after Easter, and it marks the time when Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, the position from which He reigns today. As the Bible puts it, “He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet” (Heb.10:12,13).

This year Ascension Day falls on Thursday, May 21st.

So, why is Ascension Day worthy of recognition? It’s worthy of recognition because it reminds us that there is a King who rules over all things, including all earthly powers.
