And when Jesus was baptized, ... ,
the heavens were opened to Him,
and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and coming to rest on Him;
and behold, a voice from heaven said,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Mathew 3: 16-17 (ESV)
Welcome to Ascension!
And the third day, He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. ~ The Nicene Creed
In the Gospel of St. John (14:6), Jesus said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus is our way back to our Father in heaven. He is the Gospel (Good News) of God to the world. As Evangelical Lutherans, we are loyal to the Gospel of Christ, "for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
This Gospel ministry and mission of the Christian Church is to seek, make, and mature disciples for God's eternal kingdom through preaching, baptizing, teaching, and communing. This work of the Holy Spirit of God among mankind is centered in the Divine Service, in which the Word of God is first proclaimed and administered through sermons and sacraments. Through this Word and these means, God saves us from our captivity to sin, death, and the devil, and so works in us a new and everlasting life.
At Ascension, this new life finds its expression in a three-fold fellowship and ministry: Church, Family, and School. Here you will encounter and know the Lord Jesus Christ, your forgiveness, life, and salvation!
~ Luther's Small Catechism And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able." ~ Luke 13: 23-24 (ESV)
