Why Jesus Had to Leave: The Ascension and the Coming of the Spirit
In this episode of Reasonable Christianity, Roland Albertus explores one of the most overlooked moments in the Christian calendar: the Ascension of Jesus Christ. Why did Jesus have to leave? What does His departure mean for us today? With deep theological insight and rich biblical exposition, we uncover how the Ascension:
- Fulfills Old Testament prophecy (Daniel 7, Zechariah 14)
- Echoes Jewish marriage customs and the Bridegroom’s return
- Launches Pentecost and empowers the Church
- Establishes Jesus as our reigning King and heavenly High Priest
From Acts 1 to Hebrews, from Exodus clouds to Christ’s heavenly coronation, this episode reveals why the Ascension matters more than we often realize—and how it shapes our mission, identity, and hope today.
