Jesus Christ ascended to His glorious Coronation. That must have been a Phenomenal Event.😊
GOD BLESS YOU DR.PASTOR Sinclair, IN CHRIST JESUS'S STRONG NAME, I pray, Amen ✝️ 👑 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for your Gospel messages. They are such an inspiration to read and study my Bible. God Bless
Dominion regained - that, that was lost in the Garden of Adam and Eve. When The Lord Ascended He led captivity captive with Him. The greatest moment recorded or ever will be recorded. Jesus told the disciples before Ascension, go and tell the world about me. Make more disciples. Your daily tutoring is most important of the day. Writing the Holy Scripture upon my heart, soul and mind. Holy Spirit in me. Before Ascension, Jesus said, My Father will send a way to continue to be with me. I remember your lesson about the symphony, relationships The Holy Trinity - how they work together for us, for good. Good and great thoughts, Pastor. ♥️✝️🕊️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏♥️✝️
Thank you so much.
“Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”
Acts 1
I am a lame believer and your showing me that St. Peter wasn't given his gifts simply gratis but by learning from being taught, now includes all of us along with him. He is us and we are him. I've listened to many of these posts describing Peter's lapses in faith and even in basic understanding and to be rebuked by Jesus to eventually come to understand what our Lord was teaching him.
Thanks
Just a basic objective reading of the gospels will tell you that Peter is a saved sinner just like you and me. And the way the word "saints" is used in the new testamant is used in reference to all believers, so Paul uses it in the introduction to say "to the saints in Ephesus". Jesus is Lord, the "only mediator between God and man" and He is loving and merciful and delights to save while being stern or straightforward about the truth throughout the gospels. If you like 1 John is written so that "you might know you have eternal life". Throughout that book is all sorts of identifiers of true and false believers. Have a good one
Sheesh, this is good
Yes it is, as is the case with all of Dr. Sinclair’s lessons
Was the Ascension basically the beginning of transcendent Christianity, as opposed to the cult of Jesus when he was corporeally present?
No, I wouldn't frame Christ's ascension in those terms. The ascension was not the transition from some mere "cult of Jesus" to a "transcendent Christianity." That reductionist view reflects the skeptical rationalism of liberal theology, not the Reformed Protestant understanding.
The ascension marked the exaltation and enthronement of the God-man as the victorious King after accomplishing redemption. It was the next phase in the being and mission of the eternal Son after His state of humiliation. The ascension vindicated Christ's claims and gave the apostolic church its heavenly Head and High Priest.
The Heidelberg catechism, speaking on Christ’s Ascension, states the following:
Question 49: Of what advantage to us is Christ's ascension into heaven?
Answer: First, that He is our advocate in the presence of His Father in heaven;⁷ secondly, that we have our flesh in heaven as a sure pledge that He, as the Head, will also take up to Himself, us, His members;⁸ thirdly, that He sends us His Spirit as an earnest,⁹ by whose power we seek the things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, and not things on earth.¹⁰
