This morning in devotions I read how Jesus led His disciples as
far as Bethany before His Ascension. I lingered over the part
about the town of Bethany. The name means, "House of Affliction,"
or "House of Misery," or "House of Affliction." In Aramaic it
simply means, "Poor."


Jesus spent a lot of His time in that town, as well as in the
home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. I think it was really the only
home "away from Home" that He found comfort and rest in. He loved
these three people very much. Bethany was a place were many
powerful miracles were performed. It speaks of what mattered,
rather who mattered most to Jesus. The poorest of the poor, the
sickest of the sick, the affliction of the afflicted. The
tormented. He loved them.


It was there He parted from them. Forty days later they would see
Him ascend into heaven, "a cloud received Him out of their sight.
The parting in Luke between His disciples, and the Ascension
before them in the book of Acts made it possible for them to
receive power from on high. He went to be enthroned on the right
hand of God. Where "He upholds all things by the word of His
power."


"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working
with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
The Ascension as an end; the Ascension as a beginning; the
Ascension as the pledge of the return is no metaphor, it is
reality. HE IS COMING AGAIN.... ~ "Behold, He cometh with
clouds...." Revelation 1:7
