Embracing the mission Jesus gave us
When they reached Emmaus, Cleopas and his friend asked Jesus to stay with them. But Jesus left.
40 days later, Jesus ascended to heaven, leaving all his followers behind, staring at the sky.
His leaving was the best thing for them. And for us.
It forced all of us to pursue a new mission.
