Up, Up and Away!

Up, Up and Away!

Passage: Mark 16:19-20

Preacher: Derrick McCarson

Series: Mark, vol. 2: The Suffering Servant

Detail:

A brief forty days after that first Easter, Jesus exited stage left. The disciples stood looking forlornly up at the sky as if they were cosmic orphans. Jesus had gone back the Father just as promised (John 16:28, 20:17). There has been no sweeter reunion in the history of the world than Jesus return to his Father! Perhaps the closest analogy is a courageous, wounded soldier returning to his loved ones after a hard-fought victory. Jesus fully accomplished his mission and glorified the Father on earth (John 17:4"5).
