Bible Story- This week marks the ascension of Jesus. It will be 40 days past Easter on Thursday, May 22, and that is when Jesus ascended into heaven. We will learn the account of that this week.
Jesus had appeared to many of his disciples over the past 40 days, he ate with them, performed miracles like the great catch of fish, reassured Peter after his denial and continued to teach them and prepare them for the task ahead of them.
He instructed his disciples to meet him on a hill outside Jerusalem near Bethany. Here he still had to correct their misguided ideas about him and what his purpose was. They asked if he was going to restore Israel. He said that they would be his witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. They were to go and tell others about Jesus everywhere.
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes and a cloud hid him from their sight. As they stood there, staring up into the sky, two angels appeared among them and asked why they were watching. They assured Jesus disciples that he would come back in the same way, from the clouds.
Oh, how we look forward to that day! But we have a lot to keep us busy while we wait. Tell others about Jesus! Love your neighbor and love God! Be light and salt! Praying for a wonderful summer and blessings on all of you!
