In the Ascension Jesus reclaims and restores humanity's authority over the creation. Through my union to Jesus I can participate with him now in exercising my God-given authority. This makes the ascension an essential part of our salvation as human beings. I would like very much like it if we preached the ascension in our evangelizing? The ascension is dignifying, meaningful, and relevant to us as human beings. The ascension gives worth, and purpose to our seemingly meaningless and irrelevant human lives. It makes me wish that I was the sixth person in Kansas City to celebrate the Ascension. Next up Pentecost another essential part of our salvation. This is good news!

While it is beyond understanding how God could fit Himself into a man, is it not also almost equally magnificent that a man ascend into the heavens? God descending to us and then a Man subsequently ascending to God both seem full of wonder to me. Sometimes I wonder if the ascension is not almost as wondrous as the incarnation.
