Ascension Day

2 June 2011

Acts 1:10-11 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and 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."

Today we celebrate and remember the day that Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and that He was seen by many people rising in the clouds from the mount of Olives and rose out of sight above Jerusalem. Since then all Christians around the world remember this day and keep it close to their heart, some take time off if they can and go to their local church to share with others the joy of Christ’s ascension to the right hand of God the Father. In the business of this world many have chosen rather to forget the importance of this day, and treat like any other work day.

We as Christians look forward to the return of Jesus Christ like a woman waiting for the birth of her child, we have a hope and a faith that this day will come soon. The world at the moment is having labour pains, preparing for the return of Jesus Christ, others are saying the world is ending and the rapture has been and gone, we hear others speaking foolishness with millions of people giving credit for the nonsense spoken. When Jesus Christ returns like a thief in the night, will He find you busy doing what He commanded you to do?

Be encouraged today to be busy doing the things Jesus asked you to do.

David

Point to ponder: Keep watch.
