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)
Jesus ascended to sit at the right hand of God.
Jesus blessed the disciples and then was taken into heaven to be seated at the right hand of the Father. The disciples, just blessed, returned to the city overwhelmed with joy and they were praising God.
Everything was made known to them. We too can be blessed and know that the promises of the scriptures are true and hold them fast.
Know you are loved and Jesus ascended, gave us the Spirit, and will come back. We know we are loved and we will one day be with God.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
