Bible Note: Justme In Acts 1 we read about the Lord Jesus taken up into heaven. His loved ones were wondering when he would set up his kingdom. The risen Christ made it clear to them that this time was in his father's care. No matter how much we try to speculate on various world events we will never know until the promise given to his disciples is fulfilled. Think of them as they stared upward as their is taken up and are given this message "Ye men of Galilee why stand gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus which is taken up from your into heaven, shall come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven" Acts 1:11 I believe all who belong to Christ look forward to that day when he will come. However, we may suffer much before that time will come. In the meanwhile we are to watch expectantly for him as we labor for him. As a father and grandfather it is my desire that loved ones will come to Christ will there is still opportunity. The most tragic thing is for a person who is in a place of opportunity to miss Christ.
