It's essential to the Gospel, but we rarely talk about it. The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return--but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the Gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world.

A Warrior rules their day by claiming control of it before anyone else can. They're up before sunrise determined and focused to own the day. They value courage, bravery, honor, integrity, loyalty, discipline, wisdom, family, friendship and excellence. The mindset of a warrior is impenetrable, expansive, reflective, compassionate and triumphant. They stay in a constant state of ascension by vanquishing blame, excuses, complaining and regret. Within each of us there is unlimited human potential. Some will claim their birthright on the throne of achievement and triumph, purpose and fulfillment while lesser beings will serve as steps on the ladder the elite climb. A Warrior Mindset therefore is built on our daily actions and decisions from moment to moment. Will you embark on the journey to own your day with dominant brilliance or be comforted in weak complacency?
