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
