Read Acts 1
For forty days Jesus remained on Earth after his resurrection. He spent this time explaining, teaching, and empowering. In growing courage and boldness the followers of Jesus were instructed to be his witnesses: witnesses of his resurrection and his message of the Kingdom. According to our calendar this year that would mean from yesterday through May 29th Jesus would be seen at multiple places teaching and sharing about the Kingdom the God. Can you imagine how amazing these conversations must have been?
Then Jesus left this world physically. And the angels explained that Jesus would come again in the same way he left through the sky. It must have been a strange sight indeed, but not as strange as seeing a crucified dead man walking around and teaching. God certainly had done amazing wonders in their days. And more was to follow.
Additional leadership was selected as Matthias joined the 11 to replace Judas the betrayer.
