Paul’s perspective on the Ascension continues with Hebrews 3:7 to 4:11. It is time to stand up and stand out. We are to encourage one another as we do our part in this covenant until the end. Following Jesus will change your life sometimes in ways you never expect and we all need the encouragement given in Hebrews 3:13. (Hebrews 3:7-19, 4:1-11)

In this program, Matt first addresses a question submitted regarding his Apr 23, 2019 program on – The Resurrection and Appearances of Jesus Christ. The question is: “Isn’t it a problem for the historicity of this alleged event that most Bible scholars doubt the eyewitness authorship of the Gospels, the sources of this story?” We trust you’ll appreciate Matt’s answer. Matt then continues with his study of the ascension. (Hebrews 2:1-11; Matthew 28:16-17)

Today Matt starts a series on the very important subject: the Ascension! A primary source will be the book of Hebrews. The Ascension is very important but a much-neglected subject. Jesus is: The Christ The Son of God The Messiah, who expressed the radiance of God in the body of man, that man Jesus! The study starts with Hebrews 1:1.  Jesus joined us in suffering. To see God look at Jesus. (Hebrews 1 & 8)
