Acts 1:15-26 Ascension: Reconciling God and Man

Excerpt

The gift of the ascension is the infinite chasm between God and man bridged. It shows us a magnification of the fellowship that we lost in Eden. And yet, this is our hope: just as Jesus rises away from earth and into the place that God dwells, we too, following him, do not just re-enter Eden but enter into the throne room of God.
