Easter 7 Connect Lesson
The day has arrived. Big change coming.
One event that Jesus has been preparing his disciples for has finally arrived. Watch this video for the story of Jesus' Ascension to heaven.
Why did Jesus have to leave?
I remember as a kid hating Good Friday because it was sad that Jesus died. I also didn't like the story of the Ascension because it meant Jesus was leaving again. After his resurrection it was kind of a let down that he left again. What the heck? Why couldn't he just hang around and help the disciples? Why couldn't we have him here "for real" right now?
How do you think things would have been different if Jesus didn't ascend to heaven? If we lose someone we love are they gone forever? Is there anyway we have them with us if not literally with us? Is Jesus gone from us forever because his earthly body isn't here? Deep thoughts. Think, watch and listen to this video and talk with your family about it.
