Ascension
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
In Luke 24:36-38 and 44-53, Jesus is carried up to heaven even as he is blessing his disciples. NT Wright describes heaven as “God’s space, which intersects with our space but transcends it… the God-dimension, of all our present reality.” Find your favourite spot for prayer, grab your journal, and sit deeply with yourself and the Lord for 20 minutes.
Luke 24:36-38 and 44-53 is read from the NRSV
