Jesus ascended to heaven, so how can he be with us now? The disciples got used to doing life with Jesus and expected to become important players in his government when he’d overthrow the Romans. But Jesus didn’t follow their script, and instead informed them he had to die and leave them. In the same conversation, he told them it was for their good that he was going. Having the benefit of hindsight, we know now that it was for our good that Jesus died – He paid the penalty for our sin. And since Jesus ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit comes alongside us and lives in us. We’ll talk about the Holy Spirit this Sunday: Who he is and what he does.
