He Will Come Back

Day 31
Acts 1:1-11
The Ascension

- This section takes place with Jesus and the 11 apostles talking after He has died. Jesus reveled Himself to the apostles and talked to them for 40 days to tell them stories and prove to them that He was still alive. It was when He was telling them to not concern themselves with God's timing on restoring the kingdom that He rose into the heavens. He ascended up into the sky so that a cloud shielded Him from being seen. This is when two men appeared beside the apostles and said "Why do you stand here looking at the sky?" This same Jesus, that has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. And that is what we believe, and that is why we believe. We know that our Lord ascended into heaven after He died a sacrificial death for our sins. And we know that He will come again. That's it. All the other stuff that we do and learn is the filler in between these 2 absolute truths. We know that there are wars waged and struggles that take place in the middle. But we rest assured knowing that we know the final outcome.
