After He rose from the dead, Jesus remained on earth for forty days, appearing to His disicples and to many others. Paul writes that at one time Jesus appeared to more than 500 disciples.
At the end of this period, it was time for Jesus to turn His work over to His disciples and return to heaven. He gathered the disciples together and gave them what we know as the Great Commission. It applies just as much to us today as it did to the original disciples. We are to go into all the world, starting where we are, and tell others about Jesus…of His love for them, of His dying for their sins, and of His offer of forgiveness and eternal life—abundant life.
In the book of Acts, Luke tells of how the disciples saw Jesus rising into the heavens until the clouds hid Him from their sight. Two angels appeared and promised that Jesus would return to earth again, just as He left. In the meantime, His followers have been given a task…to tell all the world about Jesus.
Join us this Sunday as we take a closer look at Jesus’ ascension into heaven, and how we can confidently look forward to His re-appearing. Don’t forget to bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
