I’m a little behind on reading/listening to your posts and I’m spending time today catching up. I think I was meant to hear this episode today as I am studying John’s letters. Some of what you said goes well with my reading/studying 1 John 2:3–17 where John talks about knowing God and following his commandments. Basically he’s saying if we say we know God, but we don’t follow his commandments and strive to live as Jesus did, we are liars. And, how can we say we walk in the light if we hate our brother or sister? Faith by action as you pointed out in James.
But back to the Ascension, I think it is very interesting how something so significant was barely mentioned by the gospel writers. In all honesty though I’ve never really given it much thought until now.😊
