Today is Ascension Day. In the midst of our troubled and uncertain times, we could feel lost and afraid.What can we do about gun violence, wars, and personal trials?
In Acts 1 the disciples asked Jesus many questions. Jesus replied, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be witnesses to the ends of the earth."
And as they were watching, Jesus ascended. Two men in white robes stood by them and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven?"
We have a mission, now, here on earth. And the Holy Spirit will give us the strength we need.
