Victor Maxwell preaches on the early church's transition from being eyewitnesses of Jesus to becoming faith-worshipers, emphasizing the importance of obedience, unity, and prayer in the assembly. The disciples, after the Ascension, returned to Jerusalem with joy and worship in their hearts, ready to act on the teachings of Christ. The assembly's conduct reflected their commitment to prayer, unity, and forgiveness, setting an example for believers to gather in obedience and oneness.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of the ascension of Jesus, arguing that it is a pivotal moment in the redemptive work of God, often overlooked compared to His birth and resurrection. He highlights how the ascension marked a new beginning for the Church, shifting the focus from earthly to heavenly realms, where Christ now reigns in glory. The joy of the disciples at His departure reflects their understanding that His ascension was not a loss but a gain, as it opened the way for a new dispensation centered in Heaven. Sparks encourages believers to recognize their identity as a heavenly people, seated with Christ, and to draw strength from His exaltation amidst earthly struggles. Ultimately, he reassures that Christ's ascension signifies His victory and the assurance of final triumph for the Church.
