Soul Snack 9/74 ... Clouds to the Cosmos
Convincing and sufficient proofs were found in forty days of witness and fellowship. A beach BBQ, walking through doors and crowd appearances all would count. There those restoring onversations that would never be forgotten.After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. Acts 1:9
Examining the heavens, amazed and eager eyes peered intently upward. A risen Jesus on earth, now securely a returned Jesus to heaven. His mission successfully and dramatically accompishled. Defeated evil now awaiting a permanent sulfur bath.
Surely their hearts pounded and their minds raced behind each peircing gaze as they desperately tried to make sense of this supernatural esacalator. They had seen the dead raised, demons abolished and the temple assailed, but clouds to the cosmos was even new to these seasoned miracle watchers.
They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them."Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:10-11
Their focus had released heaven's focus. Their intent now honoured by heaven. Searching and inquiring hearts would not remain long in ignorance. Heaven would explain!
Even when Jesus is not here, heaven is not silent.
The Throne of Grace will never be silent to those who would raise their eyes intently to Him.
Jesus may be absent but heaven is still available and open for business.
