Today our church celebrates the feast of the Ascension, 

which is, believe it or not, 

one of the high holy days for Christians. 

And on this day, in particular, 

we remember that the resurrected Jesus, 

never again to die, 

now reigns over the universe 

at the right hand of God the Father. 

The ascension not about Jesus going away. 

But the mode of his presence with us changing. 

So that he can be present with us

—and for us— 

in a more intimate and powerful way.
