Today is Ascension Thursday. Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father to intercede for us as our Great High Priest. He desires to save all. https://t.co/FJKBmqV5v6

10 Days until Pentecost- as many celebrate the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ today let us prayerfully enter into a mini-season of the Ascension & reflect on the meaning of this event recorded in scripture. It reminds us that this world & heaven are very much connected. https://t.co/L8Duu3Yh58

For Ascension Day today, the delicate toes of Christ can be seen poking out in this mid-ascension #actionshot in the Corona at Canterbury Cathedral. The 'disappearing feet' was a popular medieval representation of the Ascension 🦶🦶 https://t.co/AwMzu59ZHR

A Man Sits on God’s Throne Today is 40 days after Easter and thus the day the church celebrates the Ascension of Jesus. Today we worship Jesus who takes our everything into heaven itself. He doesn't go up into heaven alone. He doesn't slough off his humanity like a snake sheds… https://t.co/EDo6jStOr2 https://t.co/2JftzHSWht
