Resurrection

He Will Come Back

"This same Jesus will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
Acts 1:11

Reflection

The story did not end. Jesus promised to return, and whoever promises, keeps it. Waiting for Him is waiting for something good, not something scary.

Prayer

Lord, I want to wait for You with joy in my heart. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What did the angels promise?
  2. Why is waiting for Jesus a good thing, not a scary one?
  3. What do we do while we wait?

5-minute activity

Make a countdown chain for a special family event. Talk about how we wait with joy for someone who promised to come back, and how Jesus promised that too. Read Acts 1:10-11 and John 14:3.
