Worship Service for May 9, 2024
May 9, 2024 • Rev. Daryn Bahn
While the Ascension is often underappreciated, it is a very important feast, and its message is deeply profound. We tend to think of Jesus’ ascension as an ending point, and no one likes to wave goodbye. Even the apostles felt a sense of apprehension. But our Lord prepared them by opening the Scriptures to them so that they might know where to hear His voice even as His visual appearance would not be with them. We know that they understood this, because they returned with joy and not fear, celebrating this event as a new beginning and not an end.
