NT Framework 052 Ascension and Session part 2

The sermon explores the background of Christ's ascension and session, focusing on the origin of the church on the Day of Pentecost. It examines the rejection of the kingdom offer by Israel, leading to a postponed kingdom and the emergence of the church as a period of preparation for the future reign. Drawing from Old Testament passages like Zachariah and Psalm 118, the speaker clarifies the concept of double reference and emphasizes that God's promises, including those to Israel, will be fulfilled, and the church's role is to form a spiritual nucleus for the coming kingdom, ultimately reigning with Christ in justice and righteousness.
