The Ascension of Our Lord -- May 12 2024

We've been in the Easter Season for quite a while now. Today we begin to transition. Easter is the most glorious and mysterious event in all of history, but what happens next continues to be important. Jesus ascends back to heaven to His and Our Father, and commissions the disciples to go forth, but not until the coming of the Holy Spirit, which we will hear about next week at Pentecost. So let's hear about this time of transition from the post-resurrection ecstasy to the start of current times.
