The Ascension of Jesus Christ
The consequences of the ascension of Jesus
Christ are so amazing that they changed the
whole way that people prayed and
worshipped God and participated in Him.
Jesus took apart the heavenly realm when
He ascended and removed the power of the
evil principalities and powers to dominate the
life of those who believed in Him (Ephesians
4:8-13, Col 2:13-13).
Furthermore He took us with Him on His
journey into the heavenly realms so that the
believer in Jesus Christ is now a citizen of
heaven (Philippians 3:20), a resident of the
heavenly Jerusalem (Hebrews 12: 22-24) and
is seated with Christ in the heavenly realms
(Ephesians 2:6).
Every born-again Christian believer now has
a graciously given heavenly status that was
previously impossible for any human to
achieve under the Law (Matthew 11:11-13,
Ephesians 2:4-10).
Jesus ascension also resulted in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (John 7:39, 16:7, Acts
2:33) and the giving of spiritual gifts to the church (Ephesians 4:8-13).
Perhaps the best starting point is the purpose statement given in Ephesians by Paul. This
is the "why" of the Ascension and of Pentecost.
(Eph 4:8-13 NKJV) Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity
captive, And gave gifts to men." {9} (Now this, "He ascended"; what does it mean but
that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? {10} He who descended is
also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) {11}
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some
pastors and teachers, {12} for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ, {13} till we all come to the unity of the faith and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ;
Now Paul's purpose statement lists a number of reasons behind the ascensionoutpouring.
The ultimate reason for the ascension is that"He might fill all things"(Ph
4:10). See Col 1:15ff for more on that! What does he want to fill all things with?
Himself! What then is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit about - filling ALL believers with
Jesus! Being filled with the Spirit of Jesus is the purpose of Pentecost and the ascension.
