I think this was the message of that resurrection breakfast table: "If you love Me, tell others of My great love!" XXVI. Going to the Father At length the time came for the Lord Jesus to return to heaven, to be at His Father's right hand. So one day He led His disciples out of Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives. He did not tell them to wait for Him at Gethsemane that day! All sorrow and suffering were now past for Him. He had finished the work which His Father had given Him to do, and now He had only to bless His disciples, and ascend up above the clouds to live with His Father. During the forty days since His resurrection, He had appeared to them many times, and had told them many things about the kingdom of God, and about the Holy Spirit who was soon to be sent to them to be their Comforter. And now having led them out as far as Bethany, He blessed them, and while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. While they looked earnestly up to heaven, two angels stood by them in white clothes, and said to them, "Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner, as ye have seen Him go into heaven." Then they returned back to Jerusalem with great joy. It was the thought of Jesus being in glory which gave them great joy; and His promise that He would come again some day, made them happy and hopeful. They had lost His dear bodily presence here; but He said that though He was in heaven, He would be with them here too, even to the end of the world. This is what He says to us, dear children, to-day! He says, "I am with you all the days, and I am coming again to receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Jesus wants us all to set to work for Him. He has left us a charge to tell others about His love in dying for us, that they may come to Him to be blessed. We may not be able to do very much, but we can try to please Him every day by being obedient, faithful and loving; and while we listen to His voice saying to us from the glory, "Surely I come quickly!" We can answer Him with adoring love,— "Come, Lord Jesus!" XXVII. When the Earth was made Beautiful Long ago, before this earth was made ready for us to live on, if you had been able to look at it, you would have seen nothing but mist, and darkness, and water! And as you think about it, you wonder very much how it all was. If you were asked, you would say that the earth is a great round ball, and that it hangs up in the sky without anybody holding it up! You cannot explain how that is, and you find it very difficult to understand how it can be. Perhaps you wonder who made the earth? And how did it get hung up in the sky, and who keeps it there? So I am going to tell you about it.
