    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022
     | 1,696 views

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus. If I bet money, I’d lay odds that anyone age 65 or older in 2022 can at least give a general outline of the life of Christ, even if he or she didn’t think ...read more

    Is it nothing to you?

    ALAS FOR THE CITY. Lamentations 1:1-6. LAMENTATIONS 1:1. The opening word could be rendered, “Alas!” The translation “How” introduces an exclamation, but also has an element of questioning in it.

     | 3,122 views

    These are times that try our souls. When the secular parts of our world collapse under the weight of theft, fraud, lying and disrespect, violence solves nothing, and brings only more violence.

    Baptism of the Lord Jesus 2021 Reading St. Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus, which is the shortest of the three Gospel accounts, I am struck by the language used just before the Father’s voice is heard from heaven. We heard that Jesus “saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a ...read more
