Charles Haddon Spurgeon explains why, however sad we may feel, this day (perhaps more than any other) reminds us that we now have reason for great joy!!
Our Lord is risen from the dead;
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led—
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
I have known that one thought of our Lord’s exaltation lift me up from the borders of despair, in a
dread hour, long since past, when reason almost reeled after great calamities had overtaken me. I recovered
my balance and my peace of mind, in a single moment, by the recollection of that one text, “Wherefore
God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name.”
So long as He lives and reigns, all is well. Men may rave at me as
they will, but what does it matter so long as He is exalted? I want you, dear friends, to feel like that
concerning your ascended Lord. Go home [During the pandemic we would amend to Stay Home!], and worship Him, and be filled with great joy.
