Questions for reflection on Acts 1:1-11:
- If you could ask Jesus a question before his Ascension what would it be? How would it compare to Peter’s question?
- Why was the Ascension necessary? Why didn’t Jesus stay and do what Peter’s question suggested?
- Do you sometimes think of Jesus as being distant and hidden?
