Where did Jesus go, and is He coming back?
In Acts 1:1-11, Jesus is taken up into heaven forty days after rising from the dead. In this study, Dr. Toby Holt explains that the ascension was not a loss but a crowning — and that the same Jesus will return.
Before He left, the risen Jesus gave His followers many proofs that He was truly alive, told them to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit, and sent them out as His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Then He rose into a cloud and was gone from sight. As the disciples stood staring upward, two angels promised that this same Jesus would come back in the same way. His going was actually good news, because now His Spirit would be with His people everywhere at once.
Questions this study answers:
1. Why is Jesus’ ascension good news? Because Jesus did not simply leave. He took His throne at the Father’s right hand and sent His Spirit to be with His people everywhere. His departure opened the way for the Holy Spirit’s work.
2. What did the angels promise the disciples? As the disciples watched Jesus rise into the sky, two angels told them that the same Jesus would return in the same way He had left — bodily and visibly.
3. What hope does Acts 1 give us today? It assures us that history is going somewhere: the Jesus who ascended will come again. Until then, His people are sent into the world as His witnesses, helped by His Spirit.
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” — Acts 1:11 (NKJV)
