The Ascension of Jesus can be seen as him “leaving us behind” to go and take on the “big job” in the heaven. He’s moving on to bigger and better things, which means he’s leaving us behind. But if that’s what’s happening, why would Jesus also promise that he “will be with us always, even to the end of the age?” Can Jesus leave and yet not leave at the same time?
