S. S. Times Acts 1:9-12 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.… 1. Was as indubitable as any act of His life — "As they were looking, He was taken up." 2. Brought angels to the earth immediately with a message of comfort. 3. Is no excuse for standing idly gazing into heaven. There is work here to be done, the doing of which will quickest hasten His return. 4. Is only for a while. He will return again, and come in great power and great glory. 5. Has given to us an advocate on high — He ever liveth to make intercession for us. (S. S. Times.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. |
