This lesson reflects on Jesus’ final moments with His disciples before His ascension. He anchors their faith not in experiences but in Scripture, reminding them that His suffering, death, and resurrection fulfilled the Law, Prophets, and Psalms. He commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. Though ordinary and inexperienced, they are promised the Holy Spirit’s power to make them effective witnesses. Finally, Jesus ascends to heaven, blessing them as He departs, assuring them of His intercession, the Spirit’s indwelling, and His return. The disciples respond with worship and joy, modeling how believers today should live—with confidence in the Word, empowered by the Spirit, and motivated by the promise of Christ’s return.
