The Gospel of the 40 Days: From the Resurrection to Ascension

When the Lord was resurrected from the dead, a corner in time was turned, and nothing would ever be the same again on planet earth. Just as sin had once fundamentally altered both the creation and the human race, so another fundamental alteration took place at the resurrection of our Lord. After the Lord came back from the dead and presented Himself alive to His disciples, He spent forty days interpreting to them by word the meaning of this mighty act of God. As you look back over the Bible, you discover this is the usual pattern of revelation. God acts in a mighty way, and then by His spoken words to and through His chosen messengers, He gives light and understanding concerning His great work.
