Jesus ascended—but probably better for our ears is to think Jesus dove into the depths of what is real, he took our human nature and plunged it into the depths of God. What we are searching for when we’re searching for something real, something authentic, something profound—we’re searching for Christ, we’re searching for what the Ascension guarantees us.
Just Another Command?
“A person’s life consists in the affection that chiefly sustains him and in which he finds the greatest satisfaction.”
Where Do We Choose to Remain?
The place we remain. It’s more important than you think.

The Promise Continues

Palm Sunday – Entering Into the Mystery
During this Holy Week, we enter into the heart of Jesus’ actions: obedience.
5th Sunday of Lent – New Covenant and the Spirit
The work of new creation isn’t some “apocalyptic” event. It happens modestly, in the silence, in hidden places. But it happens through Spirit at work in those who believe.
4th Sunday of Lent – The Davidic Kingdom and Our Infidelity
The great sin of the people is forgetfulness. Time and again, the sin that drives the people into terrible things is forgetfulness. The people’s problem is not a lack of energy, it’s not a lack of willpower, and it’s not even that they don’t think these laws make sense. It’s forgetfulness; forgetfulness of the God who has been faithful to them.
3rd Sunday of Lent – The Desert and Our Thirst
It is beside our well, the well we have dug out in our desert, that the Lord waits for us. And it’s there—and only there—that the Lord offers us water that will quench our thirst forever, that will give us “eternal life,” the life of the age to come: the life that come through Jesus to us, the life we saw in his Transfiguration. That’s what we need. That’s what will quench the thirst you feel.
