Ascensão

Depois de vencer a morte na cruz, Jesus cumpriu sua missão na terra e retornou ao lugar de onde veio. Esse momento marca o fim de seu ministério visível entre os discípulos e o início de um novo tempo para quem crê. Ele não desapareceu no vazio, mas voltou para junto do Pai, reassumindo toda a sua glória.

Para quem fica, essa partida traz esperança e responsabilidade. Saber que Cristo reina acima de tudo nos dá firmeza para caminhar no dia a dia, mesmo diante das lutas. As palavras das Escrituras mostram que a história não terminou naquele monte e lembram que ele mesmo prometeu voltar para buscar o seu povo.

A ascensão de Jesus ao céu é a coroação de sua obra redentora. Ele subiu à destra do Pai, de onde voltará com poder e glória para buscar os seus.
