Ascension: Greater Vision of Christ - The Book of Acts - Acts 1:9-11

Outline:

- Christ gives His Disciples greater vision and knowledge of Himself

A.Where did Jesus go?

B.What is Jesus doing in heaven?

C.What is next on His agenda?

Application Questions:

- Are you afraid of dying? Are you afraid of life after death? Do you realize that Jesus is in heaven

waiting for you in the Fathers house?

- Are you mourning the passing away of your loved ones? Do you realize that they are together with

the Glorified Jesus in his presence?

- What is your vision of Christ today? Someone hanging on the cross? Someone who disappeared

from earth 2000 years ago? Or who sits next to the Father to rule, who stands, who walks, who

intercedes, who sends His spirit, who is actively involved in all aspects of our lives?

- Are you struggling with guilt? Past sins that you cannot find forgiveness for? Do you realize that

Christ entered heaven with his own blood? The fact that the Father welcomed Him and allowed Him

to sit at his right hand, screams that his sacrifice was acceptable.

- Are you bold in your ministry? In your witness? Are you depending on your righteousness and

strength, or are you walking in the righteousness of Christ? In the power of the One who called you

and sent you?

- Are you truly waiting for His coming? Are you beholding His glory, are you seeking to know him more

to become more like Him? He is coming quickly! Soon!
