“Sir we would see Jesus!”
If that’s why you’ve come, you’ll not leave disappointed. You, just like me for so many years, you may have come to church tonight thinking that Ascension Day is a great day of celebration—and it is—a great day celebrating the Lord Jesus’ leaving for heaven—but it’s not.

After His resurrection, when Jesus chose to calm the troubled, guilt-ridden hearts of the disciples, He came and eat with them. In Jesus’ day, eating with someone carried the significance of establishing fellowship together. And just as Jesus demonstrated this type of outreach to those public sinners, He now reaches out to His disciples. He did the most personal thing one could do to re-establish a bond of unity with His disciples. He shared a meal with them. And in this very same way Christ reaches out to frightened, guilt-ridden sinners still today. He comes to us as the resurrected Savior so that we might share a meal in His presence and be comforted by His Word to us.
