About this episode

The episode discusses the connection between the disciples and Jesus after His ascension to heaven, emphasizing their joy and worship rather than despair.

Since Mark tells us that “He was taken up into heaven and He sat at the right hand of God,” it would seem easy to assume that any contact we have with Him now would have to be considered “long distance.” But if that were true you could be sure the disciples would have been muttering among themselves, crying their eyes out, and looking to restore a lost signal with their Savior. Instead, Luke tells us, “They worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.” And here’s why.
