Why are you looking up?



Acts 1:10–11

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.”

It's not polite to stare. Kids get called out for gawking at something. So do these disciples.

They're looking up toward where Jesus went thinking, "What's next?"

There's an answer for them and you: It's time to get to work while you wait.

Jesus, who left, is coming back.

Stop staring and waiting. He's still working through his people and his word.

Why is it comforting to remember that Jesus is eventually coming back?
