“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?” - Psalm 23:4
“The Ascension” is commonly known as Christ’s ascent from earth to Heaven, and our goal is to follow Him there. However, if there is something I have learned from physically ascending from valleys to the tops of mountains, it’s that the ascending process takes a lot of work! It’s physically demanding, mentally rigorous, and spiritually symbolic. You have an idea about the overall direction and destination: up. However, the specifics of how to actually get there can be foggy. You sometimes grasp for rocks that can’t hold you. You have difficulty finding the right spot for your feet. Maintaining balance can require some creative body maneuvering. Cuts, scrapes, and bruises are all a part of the process. Lest we ever think that Christ’s ascension was as simple as the blink of an eye, may we also remember the difficulty of His climb, and be inspired in our own journeys. The ascent may take you to your very brink, but the views from the top are always worth it.
