S’mores are a great way to show what happened in the Ascension… and what will happen when we get called into heaven. The chocolate is like the world. It is a darkened place compared to heaven. Heaven is like the marshmallow — pure and good, like earth used to be before the Fall. Jesus made the leap to heaven, having told his disciples in John 14:3, “I go and prepare a place for you… I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
He said that this promise is for all who believe. That includes us. Let’s remember, while
we eat, that Jesus is in the clouds, preparing a place in heaven for us.
