Jesus' Ascension Brings Sigh of Relief
To embrace the Ascension is to heave a sigh of relief, to give up the struggle to be God (and with it the inevitable despair at our constant failure), and to enjoy our status as creatures: image-bearing creatures, but creatures nonetheless.
—N. T. Wright, Bishop of Durham (Church of England) and writer (1948—)
