“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.” (Acts 1:7-11 NIV)
From today’s bible passage, this passage had me in splits, a good ol belly laugh. I just had a vision of them staring up at the sky even though they knew He had gone.
Amazing, how we tend to do that – we hear God speak, God tells us ‘It is not time yet to know the answers to your questions” or something similar, and yet we are waiting intently as if hoping He’ll turn around and whisper “Oh by the way, the answer is….”
Hilarious, what hilarious beings we are… Oh but I love you Lord, You don’t leave us wondering and staring at the sky. You tell us, albeit through angels, what we need to be reminded.
God bless!
