The Ascension: A Forgotten Gospel Doctrine
“Christ not only died for us, but Christ went to heaven for us!”
Christopher Love (1618–1651)
For centuries, Christians have confessed that Jesus “ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” Yet this glorious truth too often fades into the background of our faith.
In The Ascension, Patrick Abendroth unveils the breathtaking reality of Christ’s exaltation. Far more than a simple departure from earth, the ascension is the crowning triumph of the gospel—Jesus’ enthronement as the long-promised Messiah, the inauguration of the new creation, and the pouring out of His Spirit.
Scripture pulses with the significance of this Christ now reigns supreme, intercedes for His people, and has already secured our place in the heavenly places. With biblical depth, theological clarity, and a passion for the ascended Lord, this book reclaims a doctrine that exalts Jesus, fuels our assurance, and ignites our worship.

A More Complete Picture
I thank the Lord for this book by Patrick Abendroth! It gives us a more complete picture of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done and will do in securing salvation for His people. I have read books about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Lord—and even His coming again—but here is a book about a much neglected and absolutely necessary aspect of His work, the Ascension. Abendroth writes succinctly with clarity and passion and stirs within the reader a sense of awe, wonder, and joy as he exalts our risen and ascended Savior. If you want a rich experience of contemplating Christ’s majesty, make this a book you will read soon (Lord willing). It will give you a more complete picture of what God has done for you in Christ.

Christ Reigns
Our brother, Pat Abendroth, has done the church a great service in composing this short but poignant and densely packed book exulting the risen and ascended Christ. Christ’s kingdom has been inaugurated. He reigns over all things from heaven, for you, dear believer!
