Ascension and Pentecost
Today we celebrate Ascension Day and soon Pentecost Sunday. This provides us with an opportunity to lift our eyes above the chaos and remember eternal truths that reframe everything happening around us. In 1 Peter 1:3-5, the apostle reminds us of a living hope – a hope that is not rooted in wishful thinking or naive optimism, but rather an unshakeable hope grounded in what Jesus has already done and where he is now. Â
