"They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:10-11 NIV) How joyously (and rightfully so) we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus the Christ! After getting up however, He also went up and will soon in like manner, return again! So in the meantime and in between time, like Jesus, we must be about our Father's business!
PRAYER: Lord, we celebrate the resurrection of our risen Lord and we look forward with great anticipation His soon coming return. Help us to not be or become idle while we wait. Amen!
1 Thess 4:16-5:1. . . .
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
KJV
