He Lives!

God has promised us that He will be with us always, He will never leave us or abandon us.

Let's read Acts 1:1-11

In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the

Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.  After his suffering, he presented himself to them

and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive.

He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command:

‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard

 me speak about.  For John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptised with

 the Holy Spirit.’

 Then they gathered round him and asked him, ‘Lord, are you at this time going to restore the
 kingdom to Israel?’
  He said to them: ‘It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own
 authority.  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be
 my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’

 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

 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.’





 

What a promised God has left us with, His presence and His Holy Spirit!

God is not dead as the new movie declared and the title that bears that name on play

in the theater now. He lives among us and this is what we speak and we should

proclaim as we come to tell individual about our Lord. Celebrating His Resurrection body,

the central of our message.
