I have always wondered what it would have been like to be an Apostle or Disciple in the days after the Resurrection. Those days, viewed from 2000 years in the future, seem like they would have been both very confusing and very interesting. Jesus understands our confusion, and His actions between the Resurrection and the Ascension help us to have a better grasp of exactly what it is that is happening, and why, and how we should respond. Let us listen to some of that story and commentary on it now.
