Lk 24:50-53, Acts 1:1-11
1. The ascension caused worship, not sorrow. The apostles reaction was worship because they finally understood: they had a full understanding of the gospel. As a result of their understanding, they worshipped continually. Ps 47:5-9 The result of our own understanding should be constant praise and worship.
2. The ascension marked the completion of Jesus life on earth. Jn 17:1-5, Eph 1:19-23, Phil 2:9-11, Rev 5:11-13. Jesus is back in heaven, but is still interceeding for us.
3. The ascension was for our good because we received the Holy Spirit. Jn 3, Acts 1:8
4. The ascension comes with a great promise: Jesus will come back someday. Acts 1:11, Jn 14:1-3
5. We are to be messengers of the good news of Jesus. Acts 1:8. Don't just long for heaven, tell others about Jesus!
