This year, take a few moments to contemplate Ascension Day, which is traditionally observed 40 days after Easter Sunday. Scripture tells us that Jesus spent these 40 days post-resurrection with his apostles, preparing them for his departure. On this fortieth day after Easter, Jesus blessed his disciples for the work ahead and ascended into heaven. We carry the legacy of that blessing today. How might you bear Christ in the world today?
