This is “Ascension Sunday,” when we remember Jesus going up in the clouds to his Father in heaven. Why is this event important for us?

From the creation of the world, humanity has fallen short of living the life God intended for us. God, in the ultimate act of love, sent his only Son to take on flesh and blood and enter our fallen world. This Son, Jesus, died for all who have lived and was resurrected from the dead. Our Savior give us hope for now and for eternity.
