Bible Text: Luke 24:44-53 | Preacher: Vicar Ed Schneeflock | Jesus was ascending to the Father and the disciples’ joy was almost palpable. The joy that filled them sprang from the knowledge what His departure meant—that it meant He would be with them always, not constrained by time and space as He was when He was walking with them, but with them always just as He had intended from the beginning into all eternity.
