Ascension Day

Grace Christian Reformed Church in Chatham Ontario created a video using children's art with children reading the story of the Ascension.

Because Jesus AscendedBecause Jesus ascended and sits at the right hand of God,a new world has broken into ours—a world in which justice does come for the poor,freedom comes for the prisoners,and healing for the sick.Because Jesus ascended and sits at the right hand of God,a new community has been formed—a community that loves and cares for all members,a family that welcomes all who are abandoned and rejected,a place where all find a place of belonging.Because Jesus ascended and sits at the right hand of God,a new creation has begun— all that was distorted is being restored,all that is corrupted is being renewed,all that was broken is being made whole.Because Jesus ascended and sits at the right hand of God,God’s new world has begun. —Christine Sine, christinesine.substack.com.
