Day 25 Lk xxiv The Ascension

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.



This is it. This is a sum up of Christianity. Think about the weight of these words. Christ tells us what was accomplished by His death. The repentance and forgiveness of sins.

First thing we see is that Christ opened their minds. Christ has to first open your mind. Then he tells them that He has fulfilled the scriptures. And these people were still shocked that He did what He said he was going to do. He rose on the third day.

And by that He has given us the repentance and forgiveness of sin, but not just to keep to ourselves! It should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations.

Proclaim it!
