You never see the Spirit in the story. You simply see the effect.

Christ’s humanity stands at the center of the Ascension.

Steeples rise and fall; cities crumble. But the Lamb will return for us.

Christ walks the way of the cross to claim the fallen world back for God.

We don’t gather for Eucharist to do anything. We come to gaze upon each other, and upon the Lamb.

Relationships are not erased by eternity. To the contrary, resurrected life redeems, restores and renews, our earthly relationships.

Nothing that is worthy of the human spirit is made evident to us by proof.

Today God takes our hatred, our small worlds of anger and cruelty, and sets us free.

In Jesus, desire, the true love, destroys the dominion of sin.

Even the strongest of loves goes down into the shades of death.
