I think the mirror image of the Ascension is the biblical idea that Jesus 'appeared' in his incarnation. The Bible doesn't seem to use the language that we so often use, of his 'coming down' to us - rather, it uses the language of 'appearing'. In this understanding, you could say that in the Ascension he 'disappeared' - but only to our sight. He is still present among us but just harder to see. One day he will 'appear' again - not from another place, but from amongst us, and say 'Didn't you know? I was here all the time'.Veronica Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248292370623296757noreply@blogger.com
