ASCENSION OF THE LORD
Lifted Up in Hope and Power
This week’s readings draw our eyes upward, not just in awe of Christ’s Ascension, but in the deep hope it offers to every believer. In Acts 1:1-11, we witness Jesus being taken up into heaven—not as a farewell, but as a promise that His presence and power remain with us through the Holy Spirit. The disciples, once uncertain, are now called to wait in faith, knowing they are not abandoned.
Psalm 47 celebrates the kingship of our God with claps of joy and triumphant praise. “God has gone up with a shout,” the psalmist declares—a reminder that Christ’s Ascension is not just an ending, but a coronation. He reigns in majesty, interceding for us and drawing all things toward His eternal kingdom.
Ephesians 1:17-23 offers a prayer for spiritual insight: that we may grasp the hope of our calling and the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us. The same power that raised Jesus is at work in us! We are not powerless, but deeply anchored in Christ’s victory.
In Hebrews, we are reminded that Jesus has entered heaven on our behalf, once for all. His sacrifice is complete, and now, with confidence, we can draw near to God—hearts cleansed, consciences washed, anchored in truth and grace.
Finally, in Luke 24:46-53, Jesus blesses His disciples and ascends while they worship. May we do the same—worshipping with joy, trusting in His promises, and living as witnesses to His love.
This week, may your soul be lifted, your faith strengthened, and your heart filled with the living hope of our risen and reigning Lord.
