Ascension stands not as an end to Christ’s mission but in continuity with His mission to be continued through the Church, His body. In other words, Ascension reminds us not only of the event of Jesus ascending into the heaven, but also a call for us, His disciples, to descend down to the valley to bear witness.Hence, as a church, let us not waste time looking intently up into the sky in awe. Rather, let us hurriedly walk down to the valley and work toward the extension of His Kingdom as a servant community, for the same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back soon in the same way we have seen Him go into heaven.
