The great testimony is that Jesus Christ is .risen and alive forevermore at the right hand of the Father and gladly receiving all who come unto God. by Him and are willing to live in the power of His resurrection life and help to gather from all nations His holy Church. Mere human wisdom cannot grasp His purpose, nor can the best scholarship understand or be of any use to Him apart from the only power and the only teacher. the Holy Spirit. When He had spoken His last message to them, while they beheld He was taken up (verse 9), or as it is written in Luke xxiv, 50. 51, “While He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.” With what utter amazement they must have seen Him ascend from their midst and how stead- fastly they must have gazedAupon Him Note how this hook. like the whole Bible. begins and ends with the king- dom of God (Acts xxviii. 23. 31), but observe that the kingdom always means dominion over all things on the whole earth. given to Christ by the Father and by Christ shared with His redeemed. It was at hand and preach- ed by John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus and the twelve and the seventy, but being violently rejected and the King crucified it was postponed till He shall come again. according to Luke xix, ll, 12; Acts iii. ‘20, 21. The disci- ples understood. and rightly. too tverse 6), that the center of the kingdom will be a restored Israel. for apart from a righteous Israel and the throne of the. Lord at Jerusalem the long predicted kingdom cannot be. The kingdom be« ing rejected and postponed and the time of the King’s return known only to God. He is gathering from all the world an elect people who shall reign with Him when He shall come again to set up His kingdom. This is the mystery hidden in the ages past and revealed specially to Paul (Eph. 111, 3-6). To this end the Holy Spirit has been specially sent to testify of a risen and glorified Christ, who is waiting at the Father's right hand for the building of His body. the church, His Eve. who shall share with Him the dominion'as truly as Itebecca and Ruth shared with Isaac and Benz all their wealth. The disciples were to wait for the special power for this service and. wit- nessing the power of the Holy Spirit. then bear witness for the Lord from Jerusalem unto the utterrnost parts of the earth One result of this message was that they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy and contin- ued in prayer and praise (verse 14; Luke xxiv. 52. 53). There is no more joyful topic than that of the coming again of the Lord Jesus to the earth to welcome His people and then back to Olivet with His people to set up Hi! Kingdom. with the throne of David as its earthly center (Zeph. ill, 14. 15: Zech. xiv. 4. 9: Luke l. 32. 33). These heavenly messengers may have been angels, for angels are sometimes called men. as in Gen. xvill, 2. or. for aught we know. they may have been Moses and Elijah. _ We do not know that any one said he was swept away in a whirlwind with horses and chariot of are. This was a quiet, visible taking as He talked with them and blessed them, sugges- tive of the fact that He is still blessr ing or ready to bless. sight! As they, in wonder and awe, watch- ed the cloud that hid Him from their view two men stood by them and said very plainly that as He had gone so He would come again in like man- But it is the message of the heavenly “Wis that should hold us and be ear. nestly proclaimed. ' “This same Jean: shall so come In like mannerâ€"not death. nor the destruction of Jenna- lam, nor even .the coming of the Holy Spirit on another Comforter. but fit all. Jenn Ohm ( Luke tells us that in his former treatise. his gospel, he had written of all that Jesus began to do and teach. and this book. which we begin today. might well be called the record of that which Jesus continued to do and teach through His apostles. notably Peter and John and Paul and the evangel- ists Stephen and Philip. Note the or~ der of the words “do and teach” and the many places where the order is the same or the parallel words "seen and heard." The doings are seen and the teaching is heard (Mark vi, 30; Acts iv. 20; 1 John i. 3). We cannot prOperly teach what we have not first learned to do. The day in which He was taken up carries us back to the taking up of Enoch and Elijah and on- ward to the taking up of all true he- lievers at His conning to the earth for His people (1 Thess. iv. 16-18). In the forty days between His resurrection and ascension He showed Himself alive at least ten times and after his ascension twice to Paul. also to Stephen and John. The same Holy Spirit who conw trolled Him before His death spake by Him after His resurrection and. as always. comet-hing the kingdom of God (verses 2, 3).
