Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
7th Sunday of Easter
May 28, 2017
Here we are, about to close out the Easter season.
Pentecost is around the corner. When I was a kid, the end
of the Easter season occurred when all the chocolate Easter
bunnies and marshmallow pips were eaten. Of course, the
concept of the Holy Spirit and His coming to the Apostles was
a difficult one for a kid. That this would mark the end of the
Easter season was not something that I understood.
Although much of this is still a bit of a mystery, I can
certainly understand Christ's message and rejoice as we do in
the Psalms; "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom
shall I fear? The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom should I
be afraid?"
This is of course the central message of this week's
Gospel. We hear that the Son is one with the Father and the
Father is one with the Son. And of course, the most beautiful
part of that message; "… just as you gave him authority over
all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave
him." Absolutely humbling. Not just life, but eternal life. Am
I worthy of this? He paid the price for my many sins, and if I
believe, I am rewarded with eternal life. Why? Some of it is
still a bit of a mystery. But I do believe. And with eternal life
as the reward, it is still a mystery to me that some do not.
Your brother in Christ,
Jeff Altig
