Christians often dwell upon the biblical truths of Jesus’ birth and death. As Alistair Begg teaches, however, we must also recognize that His ascension to heaven displays His power and kingship. Before He ascended, Jesus visited with His disciples and answered their questions, training them for the mission of His church. Now He reigns over all the universe and someday will return in a cloud just as He ascended from the earth
6So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, jwill you at this time krestore the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, l“It is not for you to know mtimes or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8But you will receive npower owhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and pyou will be qmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and rSamaria, and sto the end of the earth.” 9And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, the was lifted up, and ua cloud took him out of their sight. 10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, vtwo wmen stood by them in xwhite robes, 11and said, y“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, zwill acome in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
