Christ has gone into Heaven and is at God’s right hand - with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him. 1 Peter 3:22 …All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you… Matthew 28:18-20 The Lordship of Christ in all Areas of Life The Ascension proclaims the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life. Jesus has all authority. Jesus is Lord over the world of business, sports, entertainment, and government. Jesus Christ is Lord over the schools, the shops, the cinemas, the factories, the hospitals, the law courts and parliament. There is no area of life that is outside of His authority. Every doctor, teacher, policeman, businessman, parliamentarian, factory worker, mother, father, magistrate and Supreme Court judge will have to individually stand before Almighty God on the Day of Judgment and give an account of our lives. When You ascended on high, You led captives in Your train… Psalm 68:18 Vindication The Ascension celebrates the vindication and victory of Christ. No doubt, Caiaphas, the high priest, King Herod and the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, thought that they were very important and powerful people. Yet, theses religious and political leaders are only remembered today because they arrogantly dismissed Christ Jesus. They didnt recognise that they were condemning to death the Creator, the Giver of life, the eternal Judge before whom each one of us must stand. The Emperor Augustus, who issued the decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world, requiring everyone to return to their town of birth, could not have realized at the time that the baby born to third class subjects in far away Judea would one day judge him. The Lord says to my Lord: Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. Psalm 110:1
