Ascension: A Human on Heaven's Throne? | Ascension to Pentecost

What if the Ascension wasn't about Jesus leaving — but about us arriving? In Day 3 of our Ascension to Pentecost series, the pattern we've been tracing through Genesis finds its fulfillment. Jesus, the Son of God who became a Son of Man, has conquered the rival powers that enslaved humanity — and risen to the throne above them all. But his ascension isn't just a victory lap. When Jesus — fully God, fully human — takes his seat at the Father's right hand, humanity itself is carried to the throne. The co-rulers God always intended us to be are restored. The image we were made to bear is renewed. And now the disciples wait. Because if humanity ascended to heaven in Jesus, then heaven is coming down to earth in the Spirit. God became like us so we could be made like him. That's what the disciples are waiting for. And it's what we're learning to wait for too. 📖 Series: Ascension to Pentecost — a 10-day devotional journey 📅 Day 3 of 10
