Reflection: The Ascension of the Lord. “This Jesus who has
been taken up from you into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)
When we think of the ascension of Jesus, we often think about
how marvelous it must have been to see him whisked away into
the sky, heralded by angels and looked upon with awe by the
apostles. We focus, in other words, on his act of ascending. But
what is even more important is everything that happened after
Jesus ascended. Let’s take a look.
First, the ascended Lord took up his throne as King over all
of creation. Paul tells us that Jesus is “far above every princi-
pality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is
named not only in this age but also in the one to come”
(Ephesians 1:21). Everything must submit to his gospel of
mercy and redemption.
Second, Jesus “has passed through the heavens” as a “high

priest” who has been “tested in every way, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15-16). This means
that we can now “approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace” for all our
needs (4:16). We don’t have to be afraid of him.
Third, by ascending, Jesus opened the door for the Holy Spirit. Just before he left, he
promised, “You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:5). He promised that “the love of
God” would be “poured out into your hearts through the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5). Finally,
Jesus’ ascension creates a longing in us for him to come back. At the ascension, the angel
promised, “This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way
as you have seen him going into heaven” (Acts 1:11). It assures us that a time will come when
sin, pain, and suffering will be no more. It promises us
that Jesus will keep watch over us until that great and
awesome day. So rejoice today! Lift up your heart and
lift up your eyes to Jesus, now enthroned in the
heavens.

Spirit!.” Taken from “The Word Among Us-May 2018”
Prayer: O God, you are my light and my help; whom shall I fear? You are the
stronghold of my life; before whom shall I be afraid? One thing I have asked of
you, for this will I seek, that I may dwell in your holy house all the days of my life. Taken from “Springtime of the Soul (Lent)-2016” Published by Ministry of the Arts, St. Joseph
