IMPERFECT AND SERVING ANYWAY
The Trinity reminds us that God's very nature is relationship, love, and community. As Jesus ascended into heaven he charged his followers to go and make disciples, to invite others into this loving relationship. Jesus also gave them something even more important than an explanation - he gave them a promise: "I am with you always, to the end of the age."

That promise matters because the disciples were not fearless superheroes. Matthew says some doubted. Even standing before the risen Christ, they still had questions. Yet Jesus still trusted them with the mission.

That should encourage us. Faith is not about having every answer perfectly figured out. It is about trusting the One who chooses to be in a relationship with us, and walks with us always.

IF ALL WERE PROPHETS
As we are assaulted by news of injustice: social, political, economic, environmental, and many other forms. It can be tempting, as people of faith, to wonder where the prophets of old are to speak against these evils, and bear witness to the kingdom God wants to establish among God's people. Moses once said, "Would that all the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would put his spirit on them." In other words, Moses wanted more who were willing to speak up and speak out. Is God calling you for such a time as this? Perhaps the Holy Spirit is leading you.

DEFYING GRAVITY
Jesus does more than defy gravity in the Ascension. After he emptied himself in obedience to divine will, he turned the faith over to us and got out of the way so that we, too, may be emptied in obedience and raised with him in glory. It's our turn to defy today's skeptics by rising above the present age while serving within it, and then to ascend with all the Body of Christ to a stronger, more lasting realm.

GO AHEAD, MAKE HIS DAY
It is the Spirit that comes and whispers in our ears to remind us that we are better than we sometimes behave. It is the Spirit that comes to remind us that we are not alone. It is the Spirit that reminds us that we are loved - especially when we feel most unlovable. We have much to learn under the tutelage of the Spirit, and much of it is learned by doing. Learning the Spirit's lessons, sharing the Spirit's story, and living according to what the Spirit desires of us makes Jesus' day - and changes the lives of others.
