Much of Christianity is built around faith. Faith that Jesus came, ministered here on earth, died a cruel death to fulfil God’s plan for salvation for mankind; but praise God Jesus rose from the dead so that we, who believe in Him, might confidentially worship and look forward to seeing a risen and living King one day! However, like us, the disciples became curious about the timing of the coming events that Jesus spoke about. In these verses Jesus clarifies that He had given them instructions for the discharge of their duty, and this knowledge is enough for them, and for Christians today. It is enough that He has engaged to give believers strength equal to their trials and daily struggles so that, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, they may be witnesses for Christ on earth, while all along in heaven he is managing our concerns with perfect wisdom, truth, and love. Friend, this is a form of guarantee, peace and love that we find in nothing else here on this earth. Let us therefore be the witnesses we are called to be so that the loss may be won for Christ. All the other why’s, where’s and when’s are really insignificant compared to the joy that awaits us as we serve Him faithfully here on this earth! Do your part friend, and pray for me that I may do the same!
