Jesus is Taken to Heaven

Did you Know? 

• Luke wrote two books. One is about Jesus. The other book is the story of how the disciples obeyed Jesus’ last command. This book is called ‘The Acts of the Apostles.’


• The Holy Spirit has been given to all of Jesus’ friends.


• The two men in white clothes were angels.

The Meaning of the Story

Jesus told his disciples to go everywhere and tell people about him. He promised He would be with them while they did this work. Here He told them He would be with them by his Spirit. The Spirit is Jesus’ presence with his people. After He has returned to heaven, Jesus will send his Spirit to all His friends.

Jesus then returned to His Heavenly Father. We have seen that God sent angels to tell the good news about Jesus. They announced his birth. They announced He has risen from the dead. Here they announced that Jesus would come back again.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Most people did not know that the King had been born. That was His first coming. At His second coming, everyone will see Him. Everyone will know He is the King. Christians look forward to Jesus’ second coming.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the King who is coming back again. When Jesus comes back, he will judge every man and woman for all the things they have ever done. Everyone who has not obeyed God and has not trusted in Jesus will never enter God’s kingdom. Everyone who has met Jesus and become His friend and follower will live with God forever. Meet Jesus today so that you can be with Him forever.
