The Bible tells us Jesus ascended into heaven and promised to return. Jesus may be in heaven, but his disciples have been commissioned and are at work. According to N.T. Wright, “The whole book [Acts] is the story of how Jesus, exercising his power as the CEO of earth as it is in heaven, sends out his followers as ambassadors to make his kingdom a reality, climaxing with the strange paradox of Paul in chains announcing that the Roman world has a new emperor.” In our penultimate podcast on Wright's Simply Jesus, we talk about the Ascension, the second coming and how the Book of Acts models the Kingdom work we must do in between.
