Today is Ascension Day.
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Acts l, 6 - 11
Jesus is alive, and now is sitting at the right hand of God, from where He will come to judge the living and the dead.
That is the Hope we live with, and it is true. Thanks be to God for giving us this light into the eternal plan of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. May He bless your day.
