This week we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. There is plenty of evidence for the historical person of Jesus, his Crucifixion is well documented, but his Ascension was a private affair, witnessed only by a privileged few who knew Jesus best in life and could offer reliable testimony. Yet people still doubt…which is understandable since even Jesus’ disciples doubted. In our modern age, where truth is debated and facts are questioned, we are – nevertheless – invited to accept a truth that may challenge our world view, that asks us to grow in faith, and trust in the promises made by God. Jesus didn’t say that would be easy, just that it would be possible.
