: Why John’s Vision Matters on Ascension Day
In this episode, Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church explains how John’s Gospel reframes the Ascension as far more than “Jesus going upstairs.” By tracing Jesus’ “upward-and-downward” drama—from eternal glory to the cross and back again—John reveals Christ’s full person (eternal Son enthroned) and ongoing work (accepted sacrifice, heavenly priesthood, and sending of the Spirit). Then, Rocky issues a heartfelt invitation: will you start looking upward—seeing Jesus ascend in faith—so that “life and spirit” flow into your own walk with Him? Finally, we preview tomorrow’s study of John 6:59–61, where Jesus’ “hard saying” hinges on the reality of His Ascension. #AscensionDay #JohnsGospel #AscendedSon #ChristianPodcast #SeeingChrist
