Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He said to them, “This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Look, I’m sending to you what my Father promised, but you are to stay in the city until you have been furnished with heavenly power.” He led them out as far as Bethany, where he lifted his hands and blessed them. As he blessed them, he left them and was taken up to heaven. They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem overwhelmed with joy. And they were continuously in the temple praising God. (Luke 24:44-53, CEB)
This day is 40 days after Easter and 10 days before Pentecost. Today is a weird day in the early church.
Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead and spent 40 days with the disciples and then he ascended into heaven to be with the trinity before sending the spirit to bridge the gap.
These next ten days we are not alone but first century believers were technically without God. Much like before Christ came. We are never alone. God is always with us.
We should do as the disciples did and continuously worship and praise God.
Loving People. Loving God.
