我們知道耶穌基督升天，但甚少反醒基督升天的意義，我好像從未聽過這方面的講壇訊息。
五月二十八日我們是升天主日，是這幾年內，也可能是教會歷來第一次的升天主日。
我先向兩歲的小兒講解基督升天的情況，我很高興他有愉快的體會。
小兒早前已熟悉主耶穌復活的故事，昨日我拿著耶穌布公仔向他解說耶穌基督升天。我將公仔從地上慢慢舉起，而且越舉越高，逗得小兒笑呵呵。 他隨即舉起史諾比公仔，我說是「Jesus 升天，是Jesus」，「不是Snoopy」，他就更加高舉史諾比，而且笑得更開心。這是小兒第一次關於基督升天的學習。小兒大概仍然無法明白升天，這本來是一個超越我們領域的課題。魯益師 1942 一篇訊息這樣描述升天：If anything is clear from the records of Our Lord's appearances after His resurrection, it is that the risen body was very different from the body that died and that it lives under conditions quite unlike those of natural life......yet He emphatically insists that He is not merely a spirit and takes steps to demonstrate that the risen body can still perform animal operations, such as eating. What makes all this baffling to us is our assumption that to pass beyond what we call nature----beyond the three dimensions and the five highly specialized and limited senses----is immediately to be in a world of pure negative spiritually, a world where space of any sort and sense of any sort have no function. I know no ground for believing this......There may be natures piled upon natures, each supernatural to the one beneath it, before we come to the abyss of pure spirit; and to be in that abyss, at the right hand of thte Father, may not mean being absent from any of these natures----may mean a yet more dynamic presence on all level. That is why I think it very rash to assume that the story of hte Ascension is mere allegory. I know it sounds like the work of people who imagined an absolute up and down and a local heaven in the sky. But to say this is after all to say 'Assuming that the story is fake, we could thus explain how arose.' Without that assumption we find ourselves 'moving about in worlds unrealized' with no probability----or improbability----to guide us.
For if the story is true a being still in some mode, though not our mode, corporeal, withdrew at His own will from the Nature presented by our three dimensions and five senses, not necessarily into the non-sensuous and undimensional, but into, or through, a world or worlds of super-sense and super space. And He might choose to do it gradually. Who on earth knows what the spectators might see? If they say they saw a momentary movement along the vertical plane - then an indistinct mass - then nothing - who is to pronounce this improbable?"
(C. S. Lewis, "Miracles", God in the Dock.)
