Ascenion Day

“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?. . ."
Acts 1:11
Today's Bible Reading: Acts 1 :1-11.
The Ascension of Christ is not an ending—it is a coronation. The Lord Jesus, having finished the work of redemption, was received into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. He reigns now, not as a distant figure, but as a living Saviour and sovereign King.
The disciples stood gazing—but the angels rebuked their delay. Christ’s ascension calls not for idle wonder, but for urgent witness. The One who ascended will return. History is not drifting; it is moving toward a day when every eye shall see Him.
What does this mean for us?
First, Christ reigns—so trust Him. All authority is His.
Second, Christ intercedes—so come boldly to Him.
Third, Christ is returning—so be ready.
The Bible declares that "none are righteous" (Romans 3:10), and "all have sinned"(Ecclesiastes 7:20). Apart from Christ, sinners will face the justice of God for sin. But this ascended King is also the crucified Saviour, who bore wrath in the place of sinners. Salvation is found in Him alone.
Do not stand gazing. Repent, believe, and go. The risen, ascended, and returning Christ must be proclaimed—before He comes again.
Prayer: Gracious God, I thank You that the Lord Jesus Christ has ascended in glory and now reigns at Your right hand. Help me not to stand idle, but to trust Him, obey Him, and proclaim Him. In His name. I ask. Amen.
