Step by Step: Walk With Jesus on Holy WeekSýnishorn

Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension

Jesus is risen. He has overcome the events and crucifixion of Friday, won the battle over sin, being raised from the dead.

Aside from Luke 24, we also read from Matthew, Mark and John that Jesus took His last steps here on earth over a 40-day period.

In Mark 16:9-11 we find that Jesus first appears to Mary, one of His closest friends, the same woman we read He stayed with just over a week ago. We see Him appear again to His disciples. And in other biblical passages we find out He appeared to His brother James and more than 500 others during this 40-day period.

Just like on Day 1 of this plan, Jesus led by example. In verse 50 He travels with His disciples back to an area near Bethany, spending His final moments with them, continuing to pour His knowledge and heart into them.

But not long after, would be taken back to heaven in the sky, taking His final step here on earth.

As we see Jesus’ final steps on earth, the legacy of His steps would continue and forge their own path. If you have made it this far, keep reading the Bible. Luke wrote a sequel to this book titled the Book of Acts.

In Acts 9 you will find that Jesus actually had some more steps here on earth as He continued to build His church that would grow for generations. And we, here at LCBC, are so excited to get to be a part of that mission.
