“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 the battle between good and evil continues to rage in and around us. Even though on the surface things may seem calm, our enemy is constantly working on us and all those around us. Thankfully, the same word of God which was powerful enough to drive out demons when it came from Jesus’ lips has been given to us. In our various callings, God provides the opportunities for us to share that word and drive back the forces of evil.
