Jesus spent the time needed to convince his followers that he was, in fact, alive. He also explained to them how he fulfilled the Scriptures just as the prophets had said. Now, it was time to go.
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. (Acts 1:9 NIV)
When God takes the time to convince us of something, it’s worth being convinced. When God takes the time to explain something to us, it’s worth taking the time to understand. When God speaks, we should listen. That’s because God’s words are more valuable than any other words we hear. Sometimes those words give us promises to look forward to for tomorrow.
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 NIV)
How about you? Do you recognize God’s Words when you hear them? Have you heard God’s promises for the future? Do you take the time to listen? Do you take the time to be convinced? Do you believe God when He speaks?
