05-17-15 “The Ascension of Jesus” The Rev. Mark Avera

June 12, 2015

 Up, up and away!  It’s a bird… it’s an early cosmonaut….no, wait – it’s Jesus?! Huh?

Did you know that the Ascension of Jesus has long been celebrated as one of the principal feasts of the Church?  It’s right up there with Christmas, Easter and Pentecost, but most of us have no clue why Jesus’ being “taken up” was and is such a big deal.  Let’s just say that being crowned the King of all kings and being given a Kingdom that will never end is a pretty big deal with massive implications.  The Ascension – it’s more than just a nice piece of art or iconography.
