Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen him going into heaven. (Acts 1:11)
Some time ago, I wrote a short article in my blog on this passage. You can read it here.
As I was reading this passage again today, the angel’s words struck me again in much the same way as it did back then. Here was my prayer for the day.
Jesus, in this broken world, that’s my hope: That one day you will return. That you will make all things new.
But until that time, you’ve given me a job to do.
So fill me with your Spirit. And help me to be faithful in the things you’ve called me to do until you return.
