The return of Christ is the next great redemptive moment on the divine calendar. Whatever God may do between now and then does not form the horizon on which we are to fix our gaze. No, the Ascension teaches us to keep our eyes fixed heavenwards. To be looking not so much to the ‘signs of the times’, or even to the end of our own lives, but rather to ‘the future of the Lord’. For the next great event on God’s calendar is the return of Jesus. We are called to focus on him!
