"A Blessing" –  Luke 24:44-53

Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, May 21, 2023. "While God came to us in the flesh and blood of Jesus, the ascension reminds us that we cannot restrict God to any one place. Thus, Jesus’ ascension isn’t about his leaving—his disciples, us, the world—but rather it is about the simultaneous confession that God has chosen to be located in our physical world so that God may be accessible to us, and God refuses to be limited even to those important places. No building, no people, no book, no church can limit God’s ability to be accessible to others. Instead, the ascension it challenges us to ask ourselves, how are we witnesses to the good news of Jesus Christ? How do we recognize Christ’s presence among us?"
