Ascension 

We have been focusing in on the humanity of Jesus – fully God – but fully human – Jesus the living, breathing God man – showing us what true human life, physically life should be like.

We have thought about Jesus hands – the hands of the Servant King.  Hands that washed feet, hands that touched, healed, welcomed – hands that were nailed to a cross.

Jesus feet – feet that took the Good News into a world, that took him to places of darkness, so he could bring his light – feet that took him to the cross and then were damaged by cruel nails.

Jesus heart – his core, his being – his love and compassion – God so loved the World he sent his Son – his heart pierced and broken on the cross.

Jesus breath – every breath lived to serve his God, all his words breathed out to bring healing and hope, invitation and challenge – his last breath, signalling his work on the cross was accomplished – and then Resurrection – his new body and his breath given to his followers so they could become newly invigorated, receiving the new life of the kingdom, to serve and work with Jesus.
