From the Pastor:

 

THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST

 

Every year, 40 days after Easter, the Christian church observes the Ascension of Jesus Christ. It is one of the six key festivals on the church's calendar. The other five being Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost and Trinity. 

 

However, these days Ascension often gets short-shifted. In truth the day marks a very important moment in the life of Christ. It marks our Lord's ascension into heaven, the ending of His physical sojourn on this earth, and thus it carries with it profound significance. Which is: even though Jesus ascended to the "right hand of the heavenly Father", He has not abandoned His church, His people. Even as He promised His disciples "I will not leave you or forsake you," so He promises the same to all of us, and Jesus is a Promise Keeper.

 

Through the Word of the Scriptures proclaimed in the midst of the church gathered in worship and through the promises of Baptism and Holy Communion He visits us. He puts His loving arms around us. He is still here for us and with us.

 

This is the wonderful truth which we of Immanuel Lutheran Church celebrate with millions of others who gather together for worship around the world each and every first day of the week of each month and of each year. You are invited to share this wonderful truth with us or with other Christians where ever and who ever they are.

 

God's blessings be with you and yours, 

 

Pastor David M. Albertin
