Acts 1:6-14 ~ stand looking into Heaven









The Shroud of Turin 
has profound
levels of radiation 
after being sequestered in
preservation
radiation free areas for thousands of years.


Let there be Light
and
The Sunrise shall visit us from upon high.












Acts 1:6-14



6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 

7 He said to them, 

“It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His Own Authority. 8 But 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.” 


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. 

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. 

All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, 
together with the women and 
Mary the Mother of Jesus, 
and His Brothers














People and newspapers have been speculating 
On the room known as The Upper Room since the 1970s and before. It's an ancient building and known to the Israeli Professors of Archaeology.  Is this the one?  One day, we will know.


2 Timothy 2:1-3

You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that 
is in Christ Jesus.

And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men


One day, we will know. How will we do until we know? 



Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good;
    and 
what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, 
and 
to love kindness,
    and 
to walk humbly with your God?


Litmus tests. The 1970s it was the foolishness of believing in a Virgin Birth.
As told to Hezekiah's King Father Ahaz. With the exact representation of the trade profit in Israel, the haircuts of the Roman Empire, and the woes and glories of the agriculture of the time. Isaiah 7


Proverbs 21:3

To do justice and judgment 
is 
more acceptable to the LORD 
than sacrifice.



In the 1990s, one of the largest denominations in the USA fell from 
17 million parishioners to 500,000 when that denomination was saying:
The Bible would be reinvented by the current culture 
and we should rip out all of St. Paul, 
because, obviously, St. Paul was without the Holy Spirit.  
Then made the leaping change, 
not allowing any divorce among Bishops 
to running with a newly made Bishop, divorced, 
but with a nod to agenda. 



Genesis 18:19

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
 after him, 
and they shall keep the way of the LORD, 
to do justice and judgment; 
that the LORD 
may bring upon Abraham 
that which He hath spoken of him.


This is the largest time period of the expansion of believing Churches. 
The Pew Report shows many generational Church attendance shifted.


There are times, in all lives, we must determine our faith, words and actions.


Deuteronomy 10:12,13

And now, Israel, 
what doth the LORD thy God 
require of thee, 
but to fear the LORD thy God, 
to walk in all His Ways,
 and 
to Love Him, 
and 
to serve the LORD thy God 
with all thy heart 
and 
with all thy soul



How will we do this when we have such pressing concerns,
How will we do this when we are the flowers of the field?

Jesus knew about our lives and He gave a reason and direction:


John 6:29

Jesus answered them, 
“This is the work of God given to mankind,
that you believe 
in Him 
Whom He has sent.”


The Disciples, Adam, Gideon, Jeremiah, Peter, Mary, Zechariah
all had questions and concerns.


Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, 
for whoever would draw near to God 
must believe
 that He exists 
and 
that He rewards 
those who seek Him.



1 Corinthians 2:5

So that your faith 
might not rest
 in 
the wisdom of men 
but 
in the power of God.



Hebrews 11:1 

Now 
faith
 is the assurance 
of things hoped for, 
the conviction of things 
not seen.


What would be a sign of faith?


Luke 6:36 

Be merciful, 
even as your Father is merciful.


James 2:13

For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. 
Mercy triumphs over judgment.


Matthew 5:7

Blessed are the merciful, 
for they shall receive 
mercy.


Matthew 9:13 

Go and learn 
what this means: 

“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.
For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”



1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! 

According to His 
Great Mercy, 
He has caused us
 to be born again 
to a living hope 
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ 
from the dead.



Believe.
80% of the USA does pray.  And this causes scoffing. 
This isn't exactly merciful. And of the 80% praying,  2/3rds say they have received a miraculous, answer only from The Lord and their prayer. And the believing people say they know God hears them and loves them.


Hebrews 4:16 

Let us then with confidence draw near to the Throne of Grace, 
that 
we may receive 
mercy 
and
 find grace to help in time of need.




Believe
God does the Impossible

Why?


Zephaniah 3:17


The Lord your God is in your midst,
    A Mighty One 
Who will Save

He will 
Rejoice over you with gladness

    He will 
quiet you by His Love

He will 
exult over you with loud singing.


If we are not open to the impossibility of God, we should miss the display of the Lord's Goodness, arriving quietly, like the sunrise. We benefit in our faith from being open to the Holy Spirit. The Lord God Almighty upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word.





Luke 1:76-79

Go before the Lord to prepare His Ways,
to give knowledge of salvation 
to His People
    in the forgiveness of their sins,
because 
of the tender mercy of our God

    Whereby the sunrise 
shall visit us 
from on high
To give light 
to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet 
into 
the way of peace.














This Jesus, 
Who was taken up from you into Heaven, 
will come in the same way 
as you saw Him
 go into Heaven



Holy Father, 
keep them 
in Your Name, 
which You have given Me, 
that 
they may be One, 
even as We are One.

















John 21

Thank you, Jesus our Lord Christ





♔ Lord Jesus Saves †







Bless the Lord Jesus

Thank You, Jesus

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
