Next Sunday we end the Easter Season, with the day of Ascension falling in the middle of the week. In both Acts and Luke, Jesus bids farewell to his disciples, gives them final instructions, and urges them to await the Holy Spirit. The rest of our texts emphasize how Jesus’ disciples continue to experience his presence even though he is absent in body. Paul and Silas have healing powers, and prison walls cannot hold them. Amid it all, we pray to be one in Christ, as Jesus prayed and still prays for the church.
