An angel of the Lord gave the disciples, and us, a final promise as Jesus ascended into heaven. He said,
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into
heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven”. Acts 1:11

We patiently wait for the return of our Savior. We cry out, “Maranatha”, which means, “Even so come,
Lord Jesus”.
