Scripture: Acts 1:6-14
Jesus ascended into Heaven and left instructions for His diciples to "be my withness to Jerusalem ... to the ends of the earth." The diciples become concerned with when Jerusalem will be restored and lose focus of Jesus' instructions. An angel tells them to stop gazing up at the sky and be witness to the world. There are many debates and arguments we struggle with today and we gaze up looking for Jesus' restoration, but we need to be aware of our participation in the kingdom coming.
