Good ole Thomas even asked for directions on how to get where He was going and Jesus assured them that He, in fact, was The Way, The Truth, and The Life and that no one would come to see the Father unless they came through Him, the Son. He told them that He was going to go away for a little while and prepare a place for them. In John 14 Jesus told His disciples that this was going to happen. “Jesus, yes, this very same Jesus, will come again in the same way that you have seen Him go away.” I don’t know about you but in 2017 those are some AWESOME words of hope! “Guys, why are you gazing up into the sky?” they said. I imagine with their chins resting comfortably on the ground, they could not take their eyes off of the sky in disbelief.Įnter the angels. Well, the KJV says “gazing” while the more modern translations simply says “looking.” I like “gazing” better because it better captures what they were doing. The narrative that Luke recorded in Acts 1:11 tells us that they were all “gazing” up at the sky. Had there been a disciple named George, I am quite certain that there would have been a chorus of “which way did He go, George? Which way did He go?” He was there…then, He was gone. Up, up, up He went until He disappeared into a cloud. Jesus had just levitated before their very eyes. They had just witnessed something otherworldly. As a matter of fact, someone was always looking for that rabbit. There were at least a couple of characters that used the line, “which way did he go George, which way did he go?” They were always talking about Bugs of course. My favorite cartoon of them all was The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show™. It had a remote and it revolutionized our lives! We actually had to get out of our seat, walk to the T.V., and turn a knob to change the channel. for a very long time when I was growing up. I’m not that old, we just had a very old T.V. I always beat mom and dad out of bed on Saturday and ran in to pull the on button on our T.V. I loved Saturday morning cartoons when I was growing up as a kid.
