"And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight." -Acts 1:9 (NASB)
One common magic act is making something "disappear" or vanish. While we know there is a trick or illusion involved, our brains can be fooled into thinking that the object or person is gone. The observers at the ascension of Jesus may have been looking for the "trick" or they may have been in shock to see Jesus rising into the clouds, but they were witnessing the power and greatness of God!
Jesus rose from the dead. He ascended into Heaven. Even though He rose into the clouds and out of sight, He didn't vanish. He is still with us each and every day. We can see Him in the actions of others. We can feel Him in our heart. We know when He stirs in our souls. We shouldn't feel alone. Even if we don't physically see Jesus, He is with us. He is by our sides and ready to walk with us and help us through everything we face!
Jesus didn't vanish. He's always there for you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son to die for my sins. Help me to always know that He did not vanish, but are always present in my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
