Yesterday we celebrated the Ascention of Christ - it has become an underrated day on our calander but is most important. It was on that day taht Jesus passed the baten to the church to continue His ministry on earth. We are mandated by Christ to recieve the Holy Spirit and be active in establishing the Kingdom on earth. Jesus is not silent at this time - he is busy, interceeding for us to the Father, preparing a place for us in heaven and at work in our hearts to establish the Kingdom in us. As Hebrews 4:14 and 16 says " Therefore since we have a great high priest, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith that we profess.
Let us then approach teh throne of grace with confidence (emphais mine) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

We are God's chosen peopel - selected to live at this time and equipped with everything we need to fulfill his purposes. Just as Moses, Joshua and the prophets and Judges before us, were sent for a specific task at a specific time, we have been ordained to live in these times and to be apostles, teachers, prophets and witnesses to the work of God.
