Our text this week is a bit unusual for the author, Luke. Luke's gospel is full of concrete, tangible, earthy examples of Jesus, or direct commands from Jesus that make him somewhat easy to imagine. We can picture his presence near ours through those stories. Then, we get to this ending piece, in which Jesus disappears and (we) the disciples are left staring at the clouds. We live most of our faith in mystery and doubt. How do we live our what we cannot actually see or touch? #sermon #careforcreation #Lutheran #ascension
