升天节（复活节后40天）

为什么站着望天呢？

——使徒行传一章十一节

为什么站着望天呢？

耶稣基督虽已升上高天，坐于圣父之右，但他仍在你我心中，环绕你我前后；他耳仍然垂听，他眼仍然垂顾，他手仍在爱抚你我。

他如旭日行天，光华四射，照遍群山，也照彻幽谷；他如北极星斗，晶莹闪烁，装点长空，仍在引导你我归程。

他已超越时空，但又仍在万有与历史之内；他仍在托住万有，导引历史、人生，使源于上帝的一切至终归回于上帝。

我们的生命已经与他一同藏在神里面，但这生命又有待彰显于天上人间，犹如一台供天使与世人观看的戏景！

The Ascension

Acts 1:11

Why do you stand looking into heaven?

  Why do you stand looking into heaven?

  Though Jesus Christ has ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God, he is still in our hearts, yours and mine. Christ surrounds us. He listens and is watching. The hands of Jesus Christ still soothe our wounds, yours and mine.

  A rising sun, Christ ascends to heaven, emitting light which covers the mountains and fills the valleys. Jesus Christ is our North Star, brilliant and crystal clear, glimmering in the far reaches of the cosmos, guiding us home, you and me.

  Christ, who has transcended time and space, still remains within creation and history. Christ upholds creation and guides human history. All that which came from God is in the end guided back to God through Christ.

  Our life is already in Christ, and yet remains hidden within God. It unfolds in heaven and on earth as a drama played for the angels and the world to see.
