Genesis 24:1-67; Job 29:1-30:31; Matthew 13:1-23
“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.” Acts 1:11 NKJV
There from the Mount of Olives, the Lord Jesus ascended and went back to be with the Father. While the disciples watched, the angels delivered the blessed reminder, He is coming back again! Do we need this same reminder today? Be assured, dear saint, He who is coming will not tarry. The prophecies declare it, the apostles proclaimed it, the angels announced it, and He Himself has promised, “I will come again.” — Rex Trogdon
Lord Jesus, I am waiting, waiting Thy dear face to see;
Resting on Thy promise, Thou shalt come again for me;
Joy of Thy returning, wondrous meeting in the air,
Wonder of all wonders, I’ll be there! —David Penman
