Sermon for the Ascension of Our Lord, AD 2026

May 14, 2026    Rev. Christopher Antonetti

In Jesus’ ascension he has gone to heaven, the highest heavens, and is at the right hand of God. Despite the ascension being an upward motion, Jesus has not moved to a space that is both up and far away. Heaven cannot be reached by any rocket, over any amount of time. Heaven is the unseen place wherever God is. So Jesus is with God the Father, He is not seen, and still He says to us, “I am with you always, even to the end of the earth.”
