LESSON:
Acts 1:9-11
9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."
VERSE:
The Ascension - At the Right Hand of God
This verse expresses the eyewitness account of Jesus' ascension into Heaven...on a cloud. It gives us the assurance that Jesus returned to God in heaven, to sit at his right hand, as predicted in the Bible. It also gives us the hope and expectation of Jesus' future return. When? Only God knows for Sure...as Jesus told us in the New Testament. How will we know that he has indeed returned? We will see a sign, as explained in the last sentence of this verse as follows: "...This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven...". How? "...on a cloud...".
