The Ascension of the Lord 20th May, 2012.

A feast to celebrate Jesus as Lord…more than an exemplary human. Many idols are worshipped today but there is onlyLord. There are many expressions of human spirituality but only one way to offer adequate worship to the…through, with and in Jesus, ever returning to the Father. Christ is mediator between God and man (Preface). Now he has a million hearts to expand with his love, a million voices to proclaim the Good News, a million lives to witness to his presence and power. Are you among that million?
