Tenth Appearance

Tenth appearance (Luke 24: 20-53)

Finally, our Lord appeared to His disciples at Bethany before He ascended (Luke 24: 50). He gave them the command to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. “A cloud received him ought of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1: 9-11). And thus they were made the witnesses of His ascension and were given the promise of His second glorious appearance, when, according to John 14: 3, He will return to receive His own to Himself. We can experience the power of resurrection day by day preaching the Gospel to the people all around according to God’s plan. This power will also increase as we help other believers get ready for His second appearing by taking part in the Sunday Worship gathering and breaking of bread regularly and faithfully.

May the Lord help us to appropriate the power of His resurrection for all our needs.
