Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Today we celebrate the Ascension of our Lord Jesus into God's space or heaven. But what is that all about? Why should we care? Why couldn't Jesus just continue to hang around like he did when he appeared to his disciples after God raised him from the dead? After all, wouldn't that be much more comforting to his followers then and now? All very good questions and worth some serious answers! Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about it all and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Acts 1.15-26; Psalm 1; 1 John 5.9-13; John 17.6-19.
