The ascension is not a mere solution to a problem about what happens to a body of this new sort. It is, for Luke as much as for Paul, the vindication of Jesus as Israel’s representative, and the divine giving of judgment, at least implicitly, in his favour and against the pagan nations who have oppressed Israel and the current rulers who have corrupted her. It is, in other words, the direct answer to the disciples’ question of 1:6. This is how the kingdom is being restored to Israel: by its representative Messiah being enthroned as the world’s true lord

C'est le moment de changer, de transformer l'histoire du #Cameroun. Aujourd'hui et non demain, maintenant et non dans le futur, l'heure est venue de reconstruire, de recomposer la mosaïque de l'unité en rassemblant les diversités et les richesses du pays et du continent, d'édifier une société où règnent la paix et la réconciliation. #VoyageApostolique
The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/WeRUclJHqq
