Ascension of the Lord
May 29, 2022
With his two brief accounts of the Ascension (in the Gospel and in Acts), Luke remains our main source of information about Jesus' Ascension to heaven. What is striking here is that the passage speaks more about the disciples---their fears, their questions and thier mission---than about Jesus himself. Throughout the resurrection narratives, Jesus has helped the disciples to understand the story of Jesus within the larger story of salvation history.
