One time after Jesus’ resurrection, He was with the eleven apostles. Jesus shared God’s plan for taking the Gospel to all people on the earth. After that, Jesus was lifted up into the sky. The apostles watched as Jesus went into a cloud. They could not see Him any more.
As the apostles were staring into the sky, two men wearing white clothes suddenly appeared beside them. Acts 1:11 tells us what these men said. “They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking into the sky? You saw Jesus carried away from you into heaven. He will come back in the same way you saw him go.’”
That promise was not only for Jesus’ followers at that time. The promise is for every person who obeys and follows Jesus. Jesus is alive today. He is at God’s right side. Jesus defeated death and the power of the devil. When Jesus comes back some day, He will take all believers to live forever with Him. That will be a wonderful day!
Are you ready for Jesus to come back? Only God knows when Jesus will return. Don’t wait to follow Jesus. Obey and serve Him today. Then you can look forward to His return.
