This week we celebrated Ascension Day.
On the surface it might look like Jesus was leaving us, heading home to Heaven to be with his Father. In reality, Jesus had accomplished what He had been sent to Earth to do, he was going ahead of us to prepare a place for us in Heaven.
Check out this short video on the life of Jesus and the message that Jesus left us with before ascending into Heaven.
