Staring into the Sky

And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were still watching and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them, and they said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1.9-11
 
Every time I read this, I think of a rocket launching into space from the cape in Florida. Those launches draw great crowds to watch lift off and in the same way the return of Jesus Christ will draw crowds of humans standing in awe as He descends from the heavens. There will be no hiding places and all men will have to watch Him come down. So, get ready to be a part of the masses who will be standing, pointing and looking to the sky.
