A lot of our attention is focused on Jesus' mission and his death. But what is the significance of Jesus' Resurrection, and especially his Ascension?
How does the coming of the Holy Spirit fulfil the mission of Christ? How does the Church continue the life of Christ as the Body of Christ? Join us for a four week course exploring what happens to Christ after the Cross.
| Weeks | Time | Topic | More info |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week One — Monday 9 May | 10am - 11am | The Resurrection of Christ | What do the different resurrection appearances tell us about Christ, and how do they relate to us? |
| Week Two — Monday 16 May | 10am - 11am | The Ascension of Christ | Why do we celebrate what looks like Christ leaving us? Why does Jesus tell us that unless he leaves, the Holy Spirit will not come? How does the Ascension contribute to our salvation? |
| Week Three — Monday 23 May | 10am - 11am | Pentecost and The Church | How does the Holy Spirit lead us into the full truth? How is his mission related to that of Christ? What does it mean to call the Church the Body of Christ? How does Christ act in the Church? |
