As individual Christians, we have responsibilities as citizens and as employees in the business world.
However, as a Church, we are not called to become engaged in the political or the business world. This does not mean that the Church has nothing to say and must remain silent about all political or business matters. We preach the whole Word of God, which has something to say about every topic, and Christians must speak out, for example, on matters that involve the keeping and the breaking of the Ten Commandments, which apply for all people.
As Jesus was ascending, we can picture the disciples standing on the Mount of Olives with their mouths open as they looked heavenward and watched Jesus ascend higher and higher until a cloud passed by and they saw Him no more.
Then two angels appeared, and they told the disciples that it was not a time to stand around and gaze toward heaven. Furthermore, they were assured that the same Jesus who ascended into heaven is coming again visibly for the living and the resurrected dead to see!
Jesus, who was taken from you to heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven. This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go up into heaven. This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to Heaven.
This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven. This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky. This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven.
Matthew For the Son of Man will come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
Matthew Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. Acts until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
Acts After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. Acts beginning from John's baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us.
Ask yourself this question. Am I fulfilling my duties as a Christian the way Jesus intends me too? Every follower of Jesus gets to the place at some point where we lose our focus.
Each must participate in work and worship which the Lord has commanded. If more would realize this, there would be less need to keep reminding and admonishing some to continue steadfastly in service to God; they would be helping do so. Jesus is soon returning and ready or not, he will come back. I hope today you are ready, watching for his return!
