Honoring God
Jesus Teaches about True Worship
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Perseverance in Prayer
Acts 1:6-11 The Message
6 When they were together for the last time they asked, “Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?”
7-8 He told them, “You don’t get to know the time. Timing is the Father’s business. What you’ll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world.”
9-11 These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud. They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared—in white robes! They said, “You Galileans!—why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly—and mysteriously—as he left.”
For Reflection
Jesus comes each time you reflect His image. The Holy Spirit gives you the power to witness to God's will for humankind. You are the vessel through which God speaks to the world. With the power of the Holy Spirit, you no longer need to worry about tomorrow. You become confident, durable, and brave. You experience joy and the miracle of living in the hollow of God's hand.
Pray
Pray and contemplate the joy you experience as a believer and a doer of God's work.
