Vicar/Vicario Burmese Ministry Father Shawn Tunink Father Michael Van Lian www.ShawnTheBaptist.org
Deacon/Diácono Dave Cresswell
From Father Michael Van Lian, Burmese Community:
“And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20 The Ascension of Jesus was part of God's design. It says that God has resources for each of us that he has not yet revealed. Just before Jesus departed, he told the disci-ples, “It is for your sake that I go. For if I do not go the Comforter cannot come to you.” He was, of course, speaking about the Holy Spir-it, the third person of the Trinity. It appeared as though Jesus was now leaving his disci-ples to flounder around for themselves. He was leaving them with a resource that at that time they didn't even know existed. We too can be sure that God gives each of us re-sources that enable us to cope with future cir-cumstances. Also, the Lord Jesus promised to be with His disciples forever and for always; to stay in union with each of His followers; to re-main in the midst of all of them. Do not doubt! God always goes with us through every event and every transition of our lives; thus, when you find that you have wandered into an As-cension Day, fear not because God is near. Amen.
Desde Padre Michael Van Lian, Burmese:
"Y he aquí, yo estoy contigo siempre,
hasta el fin de los tiempos". Mateo 28:20
La Ascensión de Jesús fue parte del diseño de Dios. Dice que Dios tiene recursos para cada uno de nosotros que aún no ha revelado. Justo antes de que Jesús partiera, les dijo a los discípulos: “Es por su bien que me voy. Porque si no me voy, el Consolador no puede venir, a ustedes.” El estaba, por supuesto, hablando del Espíritu Santo, la ter-cera persona de la Trinidad. Parecía que Je-sús ahora estaba dejando a sus discípulos solos. Los estaba dejando con un recurso que en ese momento ni siquiera sabían que existía. Nosotros también podemos estar se-guros de que Dios nos da a cada uno de no-sotros recursos que nos permiten enfrentara las circunstancias futuras. Además, el Señor Jesús prometió es-tar con sus discípulos por siempre y para siempre; permanecer en unión con cada uno de sus seguidores; permanecer en medio de todos ellos. ¡No dudes! Dios siempre nos acompaña a través de cada evento y cada transición de nuestras vidas; así, cuando descubras que te has metido en un Día de la Ascensión, no temas porque Dios está cerca. Amén.
