That was yesterday. Sorry I missed it. Ascension Day marks an important event, but it is odd the way Protestants interpret it in two opposite ways. For the Reformed, that Christ ascended into Heaven means that this is where His body is, so it can’t be on the altars of churches celebrating Holy Communion. But Lutherans say that the taking up of the man Jesus into the Godhead makes the doctrine of the Real Presence possible, since now this flesh and blood human being shares the attributes of the Trinity, including omnipresence.
