Gone but not forgotten
Acts 1.6-14On the mount called Olivet, Jesus assures the apostles that they will receive the power of the Holy Spirit and then disappears from their sight – he is ascended. The apostles return to Jerusalem, choose Matthias to replace Judas, and – together with the women – spend much time praying.
The Ascension can be seen as great news and sad news. The great news is that Jesus’ mission is accomplished. He reigns as King. For the disciples, the sadness is that Jesus is no longer with them physically. It’s a turning point. It can be so for us too.
This week we explore the turning point of the Ascension
