Bible verse of the week

Acts 1:9-11 (NIV)

“⁹ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. ¹⁰ While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. ¹¹ They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’”

Reflection

The disciples stand looking up as Jesus is taken from their sight caught up between wonder and uncertainty. And then comes the question: “Why do you stand looking up toward heaven?” It’s not a rebuke, but a call to move forward. Jesus has not disappeared, He now reigns, present with His people in a new way. Ascension reminds us that faith is not about standing still, holding on to a moment, but about living with purpose. Christ has gone ahead of us, and Christ will come again. We are called not to just look up, but walk on, with hope, confidence, and trust in the Lord who reigns.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, you are lifted in glory and reign over all. Keep us from standing still, and send us out to live with faith and purpose. Help us to trust that you are with us now and that you will come again. Amen.
