On the fortieth day following the Resurrection, the church celebrates the Day of Ascension, when Jesus returned to the Father by being “taken up,” with his followers looking on as witnesses. This day comes on Thursday, meaning the congregation I serve does not usually have a worship service to commemorate this important moment in time. Yet, I stopped today to wonder about what this all means. That Jesus came, died, rose and ascended.
It came to me that perhaps it is less about wondering what it “means” and more about simply being thankful. That is truly what makes all the difference - receiving, and responding, in thanks.
Blessings.
