Luke 24:44-53

“Ascension”

Jesus shares his last words before ascending to heaven outside of Bethany. Over the course of this reading, the disciples move from fear in the upper room, to wonder, to certainty, and finally, a sense of safety and peace that allows them to walk right into the temple with gratitude.

This is the calling of Christ. If we are serious about our spirituality, we will be stretched.
