Hope!

For Sunday, May 16, 2021

Acts 1:11b NLT, angels speaking: “Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”

Forty days after he suffered and died, Jesus ascended into heaven. The believers stood by and watched the whole thing! Two men then appeared, angels, who asked them, “Why are you standing here staring into heaven?” Jesus returned to the Father, just as he said he would!

But the Good News – our “hope” – is that Jesus will return to gather all the believers and take them to be with him in the eternal Kingdom. God’s messengers said it would be so. Remember that Jesus said he would go on ahead and prepare a place for us, and that’s where he is right now. He will return at just the perfect time to bring us all home!

"I will never leave you or forsake you!”

Blessings and safety today!
