19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs. ESV
Mark 16:19-20 How much time do you have in this life? How are you spending/investing that time? Are you making those of each opportunity? Are you grateful? Jesus invested three years in these men who watched Him die on a cross and have seen Him multiple times over 40 days since His resurrection. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come and ascends up to heaven. This group knows they have a mission to tell people about Jesus. The gospel message: Jesus life-death on a cross-burial-resurrection-ascension-promised return. Christ died for the penalty of your sin to save you from the wrath of God & to provide you a righteousness from God. Jesus took the righteous wrath of God you/I deserved. Do you believe that? Does your life reflect that belief?
