The Ascension of Christ.

After our Saviour’s death, his body was embalmed and laid in a sepulchre. On the third day, however, which was Sunday, he arose triumphant from the grave, and ascended into heaven before the eyes of his blessed apostles, with whom he promised to be ever present to the end of the world. He now sits at the right-hand of God the Father Almighty, and there is continually interceding for us poor sinners, and so will continue to do, till he shall descend from heaven in all his glory, to judge both the quick and the dead at the last day.
