The Ascension of Yeshua ( Jesus ) was , at first glance , God ’ s most irresponsible act in history .
But , from this we must ask why HaShem removed the Messiah from earth and left His kingdom project to His followers — ignorant , self-interested , weak people who seem to spend more time bickering than spreading the Besorah ( Good News )?
As a PCUSA ( Presbyterian ) pastor planting a church in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle . In 2006 , I asked the same question .
This was a tough place to advance God ’ s kingdom . Capitol Hill had its 15- minutes of fame during the summer of 2020 , when the locals drove out the police from the East Precinct and set up the “ CHAZ ”— Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone — a summer of love project independent of the United States .
