 Happy Ascension Day
On the 40th day after Easter Sunday, we will celebrate our Lord's Ascension. It seems strange that we would celebrate Jesus' departure. How could this possibly be a good thing? The reason why Jesus' Ascension to the Father is a good thing is because of what he tells us will result. First, that he goes to prepare a place for us, a place in Heaven with the Father. Second, since he is going to prepare a place, he will surely return to take us there. Finally, once he has ascended, the Holy Spirit will be sent to us, who, working through the means of grace, will bring us to know and be in communion with Jesus. In this sense, although Jesus has ascended, he remains with us and we with him. Happy Ascension Day!
