Exaltation of Christ

God the Father exalted His Son through His resurrection, ascension, and enthronement at His right hand. If we have died to sin in humble repentance, we too will be exalted and experience the fullness of life in Him for which we were created.

‘The third day He rose again’

- The resurrection of Christ is the most important event in human history.

- If there is no resurrection, there is no meaningful Christian faith.

- Christ’s resurrection comprehensively changes our perspective.

- Christ’s resurrection carries with it the promise of ours – if we have died to sin.

‘He ascended into heaven’

- The Ascension establishes, beyond any doubt, the universal power and authority of Christ.

- The Ascension clarifies our marching orders.

‘And sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty’
