Make Room

Often there is a question of what happened between the death of Jesus and his resurrection. We are given a glimpse into that interval in the passage Ephesians 4, where it is said that Jesus descended down into the earth before ascending up into the heavens. One sentence stands out in particular: "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men." What are these gifts he gave? Jesus gave us his spirit and its many gifts. These gifts empower us and enable us to carry out the Great Commission.
