Acts 1:9-11 NASB And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

We host Easter lunch at our house every year for my husband’s side of the family. So the week before Easter is always busy with preparations: cleaning, planning the meal, stuffing Easter eggs. Today, I felt a little lost; with the busy holiday behind me, I had no sense of purpose for my day.

I imagine the days between Jesus’s resurrection and his ascension were a busy time for his disciples. I’m sure they wanted to spend as much time with Him as they could. I would have had a lot of questions, myself! But after He left, I wonder if they experienced that post-holiday let down…now what?

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 2:19-20 NASB
