Acts 1.1-11

"Theophilus, I first wrote to you about all that Jesus did and taught
from the very first until he was taken up to heaven. But before he
was taken up, he gave orders to the apostles he had chosen with the
help of the Holy Spirit.

For forty days after Jesus had suffered and died, he proved in many
ways that he had been raised from death. He appeared to his apostles
and spoke to them about God's kingdom. While he was still with them,
he said:

Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the
Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. John baptized
with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit.

Jesus Is Taken to Heaven

While the apostles were still with Jesus, they asked him, "Lord, are
you now going to give Israel its own king again?"

Jesus said to them, "You don't need to know the time of those events
that only the Father controls. But the Holy Spirit will come upon you
and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem,
in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world." After Jesus
had said this and while they were watching, he was taken up into a
cloud. They could not see him, but as he went up, they kept looking
up into the sky.

Suddenly two men dressed in white clothes were standing there beside
them. They said, "Why are you men from Galilee standing here and
looking up into the sky? Jesus has been taken to heaven. But he will
come back in the same way that you have seen him go."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.

Luke 8:40-56 (GNT) 40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me." 47 The woman saw that she had been found o...

Luke:2.1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. Luke:2.2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. Luke:2.3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Luke:2.4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, Luke:2.5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. Luke:2.6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. Luke:2.7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

John 21.1-19 Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples "Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing!" The others said, "We will go with you." They went out in their boat. But they didn't catch a thing that night. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was. Jesus shouted, "Friends, have you caught anything?" "No!" they answered. So he told them, "Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish." They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat. Jesus' favorite disciple told Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon heard that it was the Lord, he put on the clothes that...
