Ascended Confidence - Acts 1:9-11
In this message, we behold the last glimpses of Jesus’ earthly ministry in Acts 1:9-11. The disciples gaze intently into heaven waiting for their Savior to return, but their eyes should be fixed elsewhere now. To be Jesus’ witnesses (1:8) in the world is to have eyes fixed not on what has happened but what is and will happen. We look forward to what is to come, the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Ascended King! We live with eyes set on mission in this world seeking to bring his kingdom to every nook, cranny, street, people, and neighborhood as we cling to the promises and live through the benefits applied to us of the ascended and reigning King Jesus!
