The Bible tells us that after Jesus rose from the grave, he appeared to his disciples for 40 days before ascending into heaven. What is the significance of his ascension? How did it take place? Was it merely metaphorical, a nice story to charm little children with, or did the gospels simply intend to tell us that his soul went to heaven after his death? No, the Bible has something much more significant to tell us in his bodily ascension. Watch as Pastor MacLaren leads a meditation on the 53rd Question of the Larger Catechism of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. This meditation was given during the Sunday Worship Service of First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, PA (www.firstchurchopc.org).
