Acts 1:6-14 This passage both challenges and comforts us. It challenges us to do two things: 1) let go of our need to know a specific timeline of God’s work in the world 2) hold on loosely to our images and depictions of Jesus, recognizing that we can never fully capture the essence of Jesus. And yet the passage comforts us by letting us know that even as God calls us to do the hard work of advocating for a world of justice and equality without knowing when the work will end, and even as God reminds us that Christ is so much bigger than our limited imaginations, God is with us. God accompanies us and empowers us. God does not leave us alone.
