The Ascension of the Lord

It is unfortunate that the Feast of the Ascension is seen as such a minor thing in the eyes of many Christians. This day commemorates the great, historical reality of our Lord’s return to the right hand of His Father, that is, to His being returned to the heavenly realm of His Father and seated therein with all power and authority of the Father. In other words, Jesus went back to that great heavenly realm and there is given all honor, authority, and power, both that which is rightfully His as God and that glory which is due Him for His great sacrifice on behalf of us sinners.
