giving instructions through the
Holy Spirit to the apostles he had
chosen.

After his suffering, he presented
himself to them and gave many

After he said this, he was taken up
before their very eyes, and a cloud
hid him from their sight.

1. Jesus opened the door to
God’s throne room, giving us
any-time access to God the
Father Almighty!
Hebrews 4:14, 16
Therefore, since we have a great high
priest who has ascended into heaven,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
firmly to the faith we profess . . . Let
us then approach God’s throne of
grace with confidence, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help
us in our time of need.
1. Jesus opened the door to
God’s throne room, giving us
any-time access to God the
Father Almighty!
2. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit
whom He promised to send!
John 16:7
But very truly I tell you, it is for
your good that I am going away.
Unless I go away, the Advocate will

send him to you.
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when
the Holy Spirit comes on you; and
you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and

Ephesians 1:18-19
I pray that the eyes of your heart may
be enlightened in order that you may
know the hope to which he has called
you, the riches of his glorious
inheritance in his holy people, and his
incomparably great power for us who
believe. That power is the same as the
mighty strength
Ephesians 1:20-21
he exerted when he raised Christ from
the dead and seated him at his right
hand in the heavenly realms, far above
all rule and authority, power and
dominion, and every name that is
invoked, not only in the present age
but also in the one to come.
Ephesians 1:22-23
And God placed all things under his
feet and appointed him to be head
over everything for the church, which
is his body, the fullness of him who
fills everything in every way.

   building his Church)!
2. Jesus continues to intercede
   and advocate for us!
Romans 8:34
Who then is the one who
condemns? No one. Christ Jesus
who died—more than that, who
was raised to life—is at the right
hand of God and is also interceding
for us.
1 John 2:1
My dear children, I write this to
you so that you will not sin. But if
anybody does sin, we have an
advocate with the Father—Jesus
Christ, the Righteous One.
“Christ is our attorney
and his portfolio is his
  propitiation . . .”



                           John Piper
“But if we cannot claim
to live sinless lives, then
 the only thing that can
keep us from despairing
before a holy God is that
 we have an advocate in
                            John Piper
  heaven and he pleads
our case not on the basis
 of our perfection but of
     his propitiation.”
1. Jesus continues to work His
   plan!
2. Jesus continues to intercede
   and advocate for us!
3. Jesus continues to prepare a
   place for us!
John 14:2-3
My Father’s house has many
rooms; if that were not so, would I
have told you that I am going there
to prepare a place for you? And if I
go and prepare a place for you, I
will come back and take you to be
with me that you also may be
where I am.
To help you understand
the immense value and incredible
wonder of this doctrine of the
ascension of Christ.
He ascended   he ascended indeed! mar 6 2011
