No particular text in today's topical (doctrinal) teaching. Building on text from "Easter" Sunday, John 20:1-18, we are doing our best to grasp what the Bible teaches concerning Christ's Ascension -- and why it's so important. So important that Saint Augustine said:
"The Ascension festival 'is that festival which confirms the grace of all the festivals together, without which the profitableness of every festival would have perished. For unless the Saviour had ascended into heaven, His Nativity would have come to nothing… and His Passion would have borne no fruit for us, and His most holy Resurrection would have been useless.'"
(quoted by Peter Toon, Bibliotheca Sacra, July 1983)
