Temple and Sacrifice

Abstract

In his magnificent book entitled The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey struggles with the Ascension of Christ: So many times in the course of writing this book I have felt like one of those disciples, peering intently at a blank blue sky.I look for some sign of Jesus, some visual clue . . .Like the disci-plesÕ eyes, mine ache for a pure glimpse of the One who ascended.Why, I ask again, did he have to leave? . . .I have concluded, in fact, that the Ascension represents my greatest struggle of faithÑnot whether it happened, but why.It challenges me more than the problem of pain, more than the difficulty of harmonizing science and the Bible, more than belief i n the Resurrection and other miracles.(Yancey 1995: 227,229).
