So the ascension does not mean that Jesus has gone away. Quite the
opposite. He is with us now even more powerfully than when men saw Him. We
live, then, in the presence of our ascended, ever-present Lord. Because He is
with us, we cannot be destroyed. Jesus has made the way to victory for us. He
leads us that way, gives us strength and courage for it, and finally brings us
to the bright cloud of heaven. We go on, then, from the ascension as did the
first disciples “with great joy” (Luke 24:52).
