We had a great time last Sunday celebrating Resurrection Sunday, about Jesus’ rising from the dead. Unlike all the others, including Lazarus, that Jesus raised from the dead, Jesus would never die again. He stayed on earth for forty days, appearing to Mary, the disciples, the two on the Emmaeus Road, eating breakfast with the disciples on the shore of Galilee, and appearing many times to as many as 500 people. But after the forty days, it was time for Him to return to be with His Father in Heaven.
Next Sunday we’ll talk about Jesus’ Ascension…meaning to go up in the air. That’s literally what Jesus did, while the disciples watched with their mouths open. An angel had to ask them why they were standing looking up into heaven when they had work to do…the job that Jesus had given them just before he ascended, of telling everyone in the world about Jesus and His love for them.
The angel also promised that Jesus would come back to earth again, just the same way He left. Only this time He will come as the Righteous King, not the humble Servant. That’s good news…Jesus is coming back, and it could be any day now…
See you Sunday as we study this exciting scripture. Bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
