“Is this all there is?” That question can torment people when they reach the fulfillment of their life’s goals and still aren’t satisfied. Thankfully, Jesus’ ascension into heaven demonstrates that there’s infinitely more to life than what we can see. This week we see how there’s more than what there seems to be when it comes to death. Death seems to get the last word. It seems to be in control in terms of how long we get to enjoy life and the things and people we love. In reality, however, death has been brought into service to Christ. Christ has the power over death, which means he gets to decide when it comes—and when it doesn’t. And even when it does, far from separating us from Christ it must usher us into the eternal presence of Christ.
