This is the first sermon in our new teaching series exploring the implications of Jesus' ascension. The doctrine of the ascension has largely disappeared from view in the contemporary Church. This has left a void in our understanding of Christ's ongoing work in us and the world. Traditionally, the ascension of Jesus was understood as the crowning of Jesus' tripartite role on earth as prophet, priest, and king. A deeper understanding of three roles or ministries helps us to understand where Jesus is now and what he is doing.In this sermon, Jonathan explores how the ascension crowns and extends Jesus' ministry as our great priest. In the end, the invitation is to simply allow Jesus to minister to us; washing us of all the muck that get's stuck in our soul and bringing us home to the Father.
