Luke 24:50-53 & Acts 1 & 2
Well, last week was Easter – Resurrection Day! On this day, God showed the depth of His love through Jesus’ death on the cross. On this day, every man, woman, and child who accepts the sacrifice that Jesus made on their behalf was saved.
Today we learn about Jesus going to Heaven and leaving a helper for us here on Earth – the Holy Spirit, who He is, what He does and how He can help us today:
- After Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected from dead, He walked on Earth with His disciples. We’ll learn today that He then ascended to Heaven.
- When Jesus ascended to Heaven, God sent the Holy Spirit to help His disciples preach.
- When the Holy Spirit first appeared to the disciples, He came in the form of little flames of fire that appeared over their heads.
