The church gathers to celebrate a spectacular event: the raising of Jesus to
God. Today’s Gospel reading offers a description of the sheer drama of Christ’s exaltation which the disciples witnessed.
.
.
Other details important to today’s disciples, that is – us, however, might get lost in the glory.
One is the promise to send the Spirit, to be fulfilled at Pentecost (which we celebrate next Sunday); the Spirit will empower the disciples to be witnesses
for Jesus.
.
Another is the promise that Christ will come again.
.
What good word can you offer to people who wonder what they are to do in this time between Jesus’ Ascension and return?
.
Believe in Jesus Christ. Witness to Him.
.
Help make the kingdom of God come on earth as it in heaven.
