The Ascension | Scott Chapman

When considering the significant milestones in Jesus' life, many people immediately think of his birth (Christmas), crucifixion (Good Friday), and resurrection (Easter), and look forward to his eventual return, but there is one more significant event that is less talked about and just as vital  – his ascension. This fifth major event in his life represents his triumphant victory over the enemy. Not only that, but Ephesians 6:2 says that as believers, we are also seated with him in the heavenly places. We are not merely bystanders awaiting Jesus' return; we are called to transform the world through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
