The Promises

In this powerful exploration of Acts 1:6-11, we're reminded of God's sovereignty and the incredible promises He's made to us. As the disciples witnessed Jesus ascending to heaven, they received three vital assurances that continue to shape our faith today. First, we're reminded that God is in complete control, having fixed all times and seasons. This truth should bring us comfort in the midst of life's hurricanes. Second, we're promised the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to be Christ's witnesses. This isn't just about the apostles - it's about us too! Finally, we're given the hope of Christ's return. These promises form the foundation of our mission and purpose as believers. As we navigate our daily lives, let's hold onto these truths: we're on mission for God's glory, and Jesus could return at any moment. How might this perspective transform our approach to each day?
