The Ascension of the Lord The Ascension is an interesting feast when you think about it. We celebrate Jesus leaving! Jesus' first departure
from the earth was sudden and unexpected, at least to his followers. That Good Friday departure was character-ized by sorrow, confusion, and loss. This departure has a different feel: anticipation. Today's Gospel is full of the mighty deeds Jesus predicts for his followers. "In my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new lan-guages. They will pick up serpents [with their hands], and if they drink any deadly thing it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark's account of the Ascension is abrupt and succinct. "Then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven." Jesus ascends and the Apostles go. "But they went forth and preached everywhere." The real mo-
ment likely had a bit of lag time. Realistically, the Apostles had quite the task in front of them. Can you imagine those first few moments on the hilltop after Jesus disappeared, as the Apostles met each other's eyes? "This is it. He really is gone this time. It's up to us now." Mark's abrupt transition from Ascension to action makes his meaning clear. The Ascension isn't just about Jesus. It's about us. Are we ready to go? Are we
ready to be commissioned? This is the heart of the Ascension message -Jesus leaves so we can go. We might not "go into the whole world," but we all live in a corner of it. The command to "proclaim the Gospel" isn't a call for everyone to be formal preachers of the Word. We do, howev-
er, proclaim our beliefs with the way we live our lives. Do our lives proclaim Easter joy?
