Acts 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (10) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (11) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Lindsay Thomas -- “There was work to be done for the Master;
and although it is good to look upward, and mediate on Heavenly things, yet
this must not interfere with the active duties of the Christian life. The
disciples wished to linger on the Mount of Transfiguration, but the demoniac
boy was waiting at the foot of the hill to be healed and Jesus made them
descend. The women were invited to see the place where the Lord was laid, but
they were also told to depart and tell the disciples and Peter that the Lord
had risen. The question reminded them of the work to be done and the promise
was to strengthen and encourage in working.”
