Remember
the alphabet song A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K- Ellamenopee….
The rhythm
was so familiar that we just ran parts of it together and missed the real
meaning.
Unfortunately,
that’s what we do with the time between Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. We lump it all together and miss the deep
truths that Jesus revealed in the 40 days between Jesus’ resurrection and His
ascension into the throneroom of Heaven.
In this
message, Rev. Graves reveals how we have reduced the post-resurrection story to
a blur and shows why THERE IS MORE TO
IT THAN THAT.
