Put to Death Therefore | Toby Sumpter (Exhortation – King's Cross)

Today we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus. The Bible says that after the resurrection Jesus was seen by many witnesses for 40 days and then He ascended into Heaven and sat down at the right hand of the Father. Today is the Sunday after the 40th day from Easter.

Colossians 3 gives one of the practical implications of the ascension of Jesus: putting to death your sin. “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God… Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
