It's Ascension Day, folks! The day we remember the "day whereon Christ arose, high in the heavens to reign."

Here are my three thoughts about why Ascenscion Day is important:

-it reminds us of the great commission, and how we are to share Christ's love (using words! of course! but actions too) with others.
-it reminds us that Christ did not leave us orphans, but he left with the promise of sending the Holy Spirit.
-it reminds us that he left in order to prepare a place for us, and in order to COME BACK.

In other words, Ascension Day is all about the way in which our God loves us, and wants to be with us. And, in his greatness, he made a way for it to happen. When it seemed impossible, for our smallness, for our sinfulness. He overcame all our drawbacks, and is with us personally through the Holy Spirit, and will be with us personally (again! some more!) with the return of Christ. In the glory of the Father.

And after that, it gets even more Trinitarian. Hooray!

Happy Ascension Day!

peace of Christ to you,
