![]() And that you don’t have as much control over your life as you might have thought. That He is the true Provider for your family. Perhaps for others of you, God is teaching you again that He is the true Owner of your business. ![]() Perhaps there has been a re-arranging of your priorities or a reorganizing of your values. He invited His disciples to touch and see Him up close (Luke 24:39 John 20:27).įor some of you, I sense that perhaps the Lord has been speaking to you about what is truly important in life. He did this by eating with them, as He did with Cleopas and the unnamed disciple on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), and feeding His disciples as He did by the Sea of Galilee (John 21:12-13). I’d like to share a couple of things that Jesus did with His disciples in those 40 days.Īcts 1:3 tells us that one of the primary things that Jesus did with His disciples in those 40 days of being with them prior to His ascension was that “He presented himself to them” and showed them convincingly that He was very much alive. So, what did Jesus do in those 40 days with His disciples that prepared them for the great transition that was to come? And, how does this inform us as His followers today? It would also be a time of preparation for a great transition that would come through Pentecost - when the Church of Jesus Christ would be birthed and the lives of these disciples would never be the same again. For one, it would be Jesus’ last moments with His disciples before He ascended into heaven. And while we do not have a detailed account of everything that Jesus did with His disciples over the course of those 40 days, we do know this time was significant. Acts 1:1-3 tells us that from the time that Jesus rose again from the grave (Resurrection) to the time that He ascended into heaven (Ascension), it was a period of 40 days.
