Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Ascension of Christ\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world.","brand":"Patrick Schreiner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42346559701069,"sku":"9781683593973","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8532\/3085\/files\/9781683593973.jpg?v=1771964709","url":"https:\/\/bakerpublishinggroup.com\/products\/9781683593973_the-ascension-of-christ","provider":"Baker Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
