Most Christians can explain the 'why' of the big Christian festivals like Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter. But what about Jesus' Ascension? Why did Jesus ascend into heaven and what comfort does it give us? This sermon considers those questions in light of Ephesians 1:15-23 where St. Paul beautifully prays for all Christians, that we would see and rejoice in Christ's ascension for us.
