NTRO: Our subject this morning is the ascension of Christ into heaven. The crucifixion of Christ had been a traumatic event for many believers. Their high hopes that the Messiah had come and that He would now set up the kingdom had been dashed. Surely they were disappointed like many of the followers of date setters are when that date comes and goes and what they had so set their hopes on does not happen. But the resurrection of Christ changed all that! What would happen now? Would He now set up the kingdom that had been promised for so long? Well, after the resurrection of Christ, Jesus went to Galilee. Here He gave the great commission. He then went back to Jerusalem, and in our text, we are now 40 days after His resurrection. The number 40 is often a number indicating testing. These 40 days alive on earth after the resurrection proved His resurrection beyond logical argument. Look at Acts 1:1-3 (read).
