At the Hawarden church early morning on the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Street light, tabernacle light, but soon the light of the rising sun will overwhelm all other lights. It is Sunday, the day chosen by the first Christians as the Lord’s day, since it was Sunday morning when the women went to the tomb of Jesus and found that he had risen from the dead.

Ascension
Most people think of the Ascension of Jesus as being a ‘departure’ moment. Jesus was here and now he is gone. We imagine Jesus going up into the clouds and the disciples waving farewell from below.
This is an unhelpful image.
It is essential that we understand what does happen and what does not happen in the Ascension event.
It would be easy to wrongly think that in his ministry showed us how to build the city of God on earth, and now he has gone and the mission is left to us.
