Then they gathered round him and asked
him, ‘Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?’
He said to them: ‘It is not for you
to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’
After he said this, he was taken up before
their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
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 1:6-11 NIV

Welcome to my blog. I always love receiving comments; do feel free. If you're visiting from the A-Z challenge (or even if you're not!) could I thank you for your patience in using the dreaded captcha verification thingy. It's a pain, I know, but I've had problems with spam in the past and would rather keep Greenpatches as a junk-free zone.
