Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven

I won’t lie. I felt rushed to get through the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I did. No lie. God knows it anyway.

Not that I enter the Acts of the Apostles, I am going to slow down and receive revelation.

Acts 1:1-5 (NIV)
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”

So much can be found in every word of scripture. In just these 5 verses, we find allot about what the Apostles were dealing with after the death of Jesus.

Many convincing proofs were given. Let me ask you…how many proofs have been given to you? Or better yet, how many have you noticed?

Then, ask yourself this question. Have I been baptized in the Holy Spirit? After all, He left us with that.

Lastly, do you feel bad about what you have or have not done for Him? If so why? By feeling bad about anything regarding the Messiah, you have taken the blood and deemed it unworthy. Jesus shed His blood for you. His blood has been deemed worthy for the forgiveness of all past, present, and future sin by God the Father.  Why then do you think that it has anything to do with the way that you feel?

Move along now. The gift has been given. You are forgiven. Now share His message of love. #JesusSaves

Amen
