The Ascension of the Lord
Acts 1:1-11; Ps 47; Eph 1:17-23; Mark 16:15-20
The departure of Jesus from this world marks the transfer of his redemptive mission to the disciples. Luke’s narrative account in Acts emphasizes this transfer when the two heavenly messengers ask the disciples why they stand staring up at the sky. They are to return to Jerusalem to await the Holy Spirit, who will empower them to take Jesus’ message to the ends of the earth. The scene is influenced by Psalm 110, the exaltation of the Christ seated at the right hand of God in triumph. The Ascension also recalls the departure of Elijah in 2 Kings 2:9-14, when his disciple Elisha asks for a double portion of his spirit and receives his mantle when the prophet is taken up. Like most biblical stories, the theological import transcends historical details. A transfer of authority is occurring.
