“Is this all there is?” That question can torment people when they reach the fulfillment of their life’s goals and dreams and still aren’t satisfied. Thankfully, Jesus’ ascension into heaven demonstrates that the answer to that question is a resounding “No.” When Jesus ascended into heaven, in a certain sense it was the end. It was the end of his time on earth. It was the end of his work for our salvation. But in another sense, it was just the beginning. It was the beginning of what he would continue to do in our world through us and with us to bring his saving name to all mankind and extend his kingdom to all the earth. This is the story and the mission that our faith in Jesus makes us a part of. Whenever we might be tempted to wonder if this is all there is, Jesus ascension assures us that there’s infinitely more to our life than what we can see.
