The Ascension of Our Lord
Graduation time is fast approaching! Young men and women toss their caps into the air with shouts of joy. We clap and cheer their achievements, and ask them about future plans. Jesus’ ascension into heaven was, for him, a kind of graduation day. Having humbled himself to serve and die for the sins of the world, now he is exalted in heavenly glory at his Father’s right hand. We rejoice that our future is securely with him, as he reigns over us and all creation for our benefit!
