African Christian art - Zaire Jesus
A couple of days ago I was thinking about the juxtaposition of Ascension day and Pentecost. One to commemorate the ascent of Jesus the other to remember the descent of the Holy Spirit. Ascension Day and Pentecost are closely linked. It was because Jesus ascended into heaven that the Holy Spirit could descend and fill us all. I thought that you might enjoy the prayer that my reflections inspired
Jesus Christ ascended into heaven
First born of a new creation
Marking the way with his blood
Shining as a light for all to see
An advocate in heaven
Now at the right hand of God
Holy Spirit descended from above
Indwelling presence of God
Opening our hearts to the Good News of Christ
Leading us into all truth
An advocate within
Forever with all who are called by God’s name
