Stephen Caldwell
Acts 1:6-9 - “Your mission.”
v6 - Why are they asking “at this time?”
-
Jesus just rose from the dead.
-
They want to know when is this Heaven on Earth they have heard about is going to happen?
v7 – Jesus wants them to keep their focus.
-
His business vs our business.
v8 – What they are (you are) to focus on.
-
“But ye” - contrasts the things of God vs the things they (you) are to be concerned with.
-
Distractions to our focus: Posessions, Politics, Hobbies, Jobs, Families, etc..
-
Your (singular, personal) priority is to go into all the world and spread the Gospel.
-
There is no exemption from this command for those who are saved.
-
You receive the power through the Holy Ghost … God goes with you wherever you are.
v9 – They have a mission yet to accomplish
-
This is the reason He is ascending and they are left standing.
Our mission field is wherever we are. Start at home, then to work and then to all the world.
The responsibility doesn't lie on the shoulders of Christianity in general, but the Christian in person.
Why stand ye looking up into Heaven?
