Daily devotion – Monday 16th August 2021
Act 1:11 ……“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to God’s plan for the future. Unless Jesus was raised from the dead, there can be no future kingdom and no returning King.
Unless Jesus was raised from the dead, sin and death still reign, and God’s plan of redemption remains unfulfilled. But Jesus has been raised!
As the disciples stood watching after Jesus ascended into the heavens, the angels assured them that the risen Christ would someday be the returning Christ.
The angels said to the disciples …this same Jesus who was taken up…will come in like manner as you as you saw Him go into heaven…
Just as surely as Jesus rose from the dead, so He will return and take us to Himself.
Every promise – without exception – will be fulfilled!
Are you ready for Christ’s return?
