Acts 1:8-14
8 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Jesus fulfills the Word of God. Immediately the people who were apart, were put together with one accord.
Mary had campaigned for safety of her family and of Jesus above God's Work.
The Disciples traveled with Jesus, usually the women were not included. And the women bravely were the ones who stood for Jesus during Good Friday.
The brothers of Jesus had taunted Jesus to be more spectacular.
When we feel life is unfair, Psalm 23 tells us the mercy and goodness we leave in our footprints is God seeing our lives. What we give is more important - God fully understands who and where Gideon is and God concentrates on God's Plan.
1 Corinthians 15:6
After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers
Romans assures us the 500 had not been stellar enough to be on His List.
Why should we do like John's Gospel Chapter 1 and seek Jesus? God sees Nathaniel pray and God is 'with' Nathaniel. Flaws of Nathaniel and all - God delights in Nathaniel. Proverbs 8 tells us God delights in mankind. When we feel life is not fair - we are fully assured - just as God includes us - His Love covers us all.
The abounding Grace of God is what we need. And what we know others need. It is all the reason in the World to Love Father God who gives us Jesus.
God our Father and Jesus, His only Son, are working today.
Jesus told us to always Pray with Hope.
Abba, Holy Father God,
We would ask Your Blessing upon us and upon our Loved Ones. The goodness You are sets forth to save the world in Jesus Christ.
We would ask more of Your Good and Willing Father Hope and Future. More Heaven on this earth. Rejoicing in answered Prayer. Seeking to see His Blessings. Our Teacher and Comforter.
Loving, enfolding, strengthening His Beloved and the Nation trusting in Him. The nations of the world reflecting the Light of Jesus Christ.
Blessings on our Veterinarian finding a faster space for our dog. Blessed.
And His Creation, He calls Good goes forth in Jesus Christ. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
