Acts 1:11

Acts 1:11

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”

The book of Acts begins with Jesus’ ascension into heaven, which took place after he had commissioned his disciples to take the Good News of his death and resurrection to the world. While the disciples were watching, Jesus was taken up into a cloud, “and they could no longer see him” (verse 9). Two angels appeared to tell the disciples that Jesus had been taken away but would return again. Jesus not only promised to send the Holy Spirit but also sent angels to reassure them of his return. Jesus will come back again. How might this truth change the way you approach today?
