The Apostle Paul quotes an ancient Christian hymn that encapsulates Jesus' mission in a few lines of poetry in his letter to the Philippians. Philippians 2:5-11 marks Jesus' descent from glory to mortality in order to begin and fulfill His rescue mission. Luke ends his gospel with the ascension and begins the Book of the Acts of the Apostles with it. In this sermon we mark the completion of that mission, with the Father taking Jesus to sit at His right hand in glory. The King has died, the King has risen, the King has ascended. Long live the King!
