Today is Ascension Day, when we remember the Ascension of Jesus to heaven. So, we started with the question, "What Makes Jesus' Ascension Important?" Then, questions from the live chat: With the advent of more on-line ministries, is online baptism possible? 24:45 Was King David born out of wedlock? 26:56 What does stewardship look like for a Christian, beyond our finances? 28:49 What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 11:10 when he wrote, “because of the angels”? 32:39 How did pagan worship come so close to the death and resurrection of Jesus 1,000 years before Jesus? Is our cultural celebration of Easter pagan? 36:30 Why is the ascension an unappreciated and largely neglected doctrine? 40:19 The Bible states that God defends Israel. I know that ultimately, they do “win” – but why then is the present-day state of Israel experiencing so much chaos and crisis? 43:27 Can you explain modalism? A study Bible I read seems to suggest modalism. 49:07 Do people who have accepted Jesus as their savior still need deliverance? 52:07 Here are my seven reasons why the Ascension was necessary and important 1. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to show that Jesus was really gone. 2. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to show where Jesus went. 3. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to show that Jesus was and is alive. 4. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to send blessing. 5. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to send the Holy Spirit. 6. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary for Jesus to continue His present ministry of intercession, praying for His people. 7. The Ascension of Jesus was necessary to model His return.
