As a young teenager I left home to attend a boarding high school about 45 miles away from my home. I remember each time that I left home my young brother would go to pieces crying after me and it would take hours and days of comforting from my parents to help him get over it. In this scripture, the disciples stood gazing into heaven where they saw Jesus disappear. In comparison, we too stand gazing at times when we feel like we have reached the end of our patience, our hope, our joy here on earth, or even our reason for being here. I am comforted by what the angels told the disciples, because I believe it is very applicable to those of us that know Jesus as Lord. Praise God, our time here on earth is temporary, and one day soon Jesus will come back the same way the disciples saw Him disappear. Praise God that I have surrendered my life to Jesus and made my election clear, so I am guaranteed the next trip up with Jesus! How is it with you friend? Do you know Him? Are you ready to go? If you have questions or just want to make sure, and you would like to talk this important matter over with someone, I would quickly offer to chat with you, but should you have connections with a local church, I would highly recommend speaking with your pastor, or trusted spiritual leader first.
