Thus the death, resurrection <strong>and</strong> ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ was the critical<br />

turning point that has ensured the total freedom of all creation! Creation, now in<br />

bondage, will move into "the glorious liberty of the sons of God". God is in the business<br />

of setting all things free. He desires liberty - not cringing enslavement, for all!<br />

<strong>How</strong>ever it is a two-step movement firstly there is freedom from the old religious system,<br />

our coming out from domination by the elementary principles of this world <strong>and</strong> from sin<br />

<strong>and</strong> death.<br />

Then step two is not anarchy - but having God's moral code written on our hearts<br />

through the Holy Spirit. (Hebrews 8:10) We are freed to become who we were always<br />

meant to be - righteous, holy, spirit-filled beings of love.(Galatians 5:16-24)<br />

This is the work of the Holy Spirit <strong>and</strong> why the ascension of Jesus Christ is also strongly<br />

associated with the sending of the Holy Spirit.<br />

The Holy Spirit <strong>and</strong> the Ascension of Jesus Christ<br />

(John 14:12 NKJV) "Most assuredly, I<br />

say to you, he who believes in Me, the<br />

works that I do he will do also; <strong>and</strong><br />

greater works than these he will do,<br />

because I go to My Father.<br />

(John 16:7 NRSV) Nevertheless I tell<br />

you the truth: it is to your advantage<br />

that I go away, for if I do not go away,<br />

the Advocate will not come to you; but<br />

if I go, I will send him to you.<br />

(Acts 1:4-5 NKJV) And being<br />

assembled together with them, He<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>ed them not to depart from<br />

Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise<br />

of the Father, "which," He said, "you<br />

have heard from Me; {5}"for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized<br />

with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."<br />

(Acts 2:31-33 NRSV) Foreseeing this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,<br />

saying, 'He was not ab<strong>and</strong>oned to Hades, nor did his flesh experience corruption.' {32}<br />

This Jesus God raised up, <strong>and</strong> of that all of us are witnesses. {33} Being therefore<br />

exalted at the right h<strong>and</strong> of God, <strong>and</strong> having received from the Father the promise of the<br />

Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see <strong>and</strong> hear.<br />

(Acts 11:15-16 NKJV) "And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as<br />

upon us at the beginning. {16} "Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said,<br />

'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'<br />

During the Last Supper Jesus clearly indicates that when He "went to the Father"<br />

something would happen to the disciples would enable them to do great works of power<br />

equivalent to His own (John 14:12). Later on in the upper room discourse He reveals this<br />

to be the sending of the Helper, the Holy Spirit which could only be sent after His<br />

departure.(John 16:7)
