John 16:25<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. \u00a0In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; \u00a0for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. \u00a0I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acts 1:9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.\u00a0\u00a0And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,\u00a0\u00a0and said, \u201cMen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke 24:51<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 1:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, \u00a0but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.\u00a0He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,<\/p>\n

Zephaniah 3:17<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The 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.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine what it would have been like to have been there with Christ at the time of His ascension .\u00a0 Many scriptures come to my mind when I think about His last minutes on earth; \u201cI have come to give you life more abundantly,\u00a0 I have come to set the captive free,\u00a0 I have come to give sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf, I have come to give light unto the world, I am the way the truth and the life, I do what the Father tells me, I free the demon possessed, I love you, I give my life freely, I forgive you, I am the spring of living water,\u00a0 I go prepare a place for you so that where I am there you will be also, I am coming again, You have believed in the Father believe also in me, Father forgive them they know not what they do,\u00a0 I will send a helper to you\u2026..\u00a0 Being mindful of His death, and resurrection for salvation to all who trust in this redemptive sacrifice but, there is more to life than salvation.\u00a0 Salvation is the corner stone of our faith and from this we grow (or at least we should.\u00a0 Our purpose on earth is to humbly serve, honor, follow, and obey Him.\u00a0 Growing needs the flow of living water found in His word.\u00a0 Apart from it we are prone to wonder and follow diluted truth.\u00a0 Our culture tries to pull and direct our efforts towards things of this world that certainly do not last.\u00a0 The only thing that lasts is that which is given and done in honor and glory of Him alone.\u00a0 There is not room for complacency and neglect in our walk with God.\u00a0 His word is a light to our soul and a beacon to lead our way through this life.\u00a0 Leave no room for Satans lies to filter in and essentially make your life meaningless in God\u2019s work this side of eternity.\u00a0 There is not much spoken of anymore about sin and a Holy God.\u00a0 God\u2019s word is able to divide our thoughts and intents.\u00a0 It convicts us of sin and leads us into His arms.\u00a0 It gives us peace, strength, power, courage, hope, joy, and assurance of eternal life.\u00a0 Commit to spending time in His word and growing in understanding and knowledge of Him and His plan and purposes.\u00a0 He speaks whispers of guidance through it.\u00a0 Give time each day into His word and speak of His work in your life.\u00a0 Bring Hope to the lost and dark world.\u00a0 Be a light shinning in the darkness.\u00a0 He is coming again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
