Acts 1:11. “Which also said, ‘Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.’”
THIS SAME JESUS. There are others occasionally around claiming the worship of honest men. Who is the real One who died on the cross for my sin? There are some things about my Lord, that identify only Him As the One who has power to forgive sins – He is God’s unique Son.
The words that He spoke were different from the speech of all those around. Conviction of sin, brought sinners down to their knees on the ground. The truths He taught were with power– there was no comparison found, Demons in human bodies did tremble, as chains they had formed were unbound.
His miracles made it plain, Jesus was God here in the flesh. The hungry He fed and healed the lame; He healed the blind and the deaf. Three dead ones were raised, lepers were cleansed – all these truly attest, What He did, and is made plain to us, truly Jesus is the Christ.
There on that hilltop near the city for the eyes of each watching one to see, Is evidence – blood; nail prints, where He was nailed to Calvary’s tree. I know from the witnesses who saw Him rise – only He can be, The Savior, my Lord, who ascended and is coming back for me.
“O God, who received the Victor back to sit on the right hand of Thy throne: I am waiting for the day when He who ascended before the eyes of a few, comes back to receive us to Himself. I want to be sure that no passing day will catch me without thoughts of His return. I am waiting – and watching, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
