Talk about amazing! Jesus died on a cross, but three days later he came back to life! And the next 40 days, Jesus appeared to his disciples at different times and places.
During one of those times, he told his friends. "Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised." What gift was God going to send?
THE HOLY SPIRIT! Jesus said the Holy Spirit would give his disciples power to tell people everywhere about him.
Right after Jesus said that, he was taken up into a cloud. Right before his disciples' eyes!
As they were looking up, trying to see where Jesus went, suddenly there were two white-robed men standing among them. Angels!
The angels said, "Why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!" THAT IS JUST SO COOL!
Everyone needs to hear about Jesus! Kids: Who can you tell? Share with them this website and tell them all the cool stuff you did this week. That should get a conversation about Jesus started.
Parent: Have your kids tell you about what they did in Bible Expeditions today.
