“The Ascension”
 
“And Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight." Acts 1:8-9

The last discussion the disciples were having with Jesus before he ascended was about when Jesus was going to “restore the kingdom of Israel.” They were speaking with the Resurrected Jesus and they still did not get it. Jesus had come for all nations, he had given his life for all peoples, including the Jewish people.

The call of the disciples and ours is to go out to the ends of the earth as witnesses of who Jesus truly is, the Savior of all.

Lord Jesus, help us to stay focused on the mission you have called us to fulfill. Thank you for this privilege.
