A Promise and a Cloud

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus was alive again. For forty days he showed his friends that he was alive. He talked with them about the Kingdom of God.

Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem. He said God would send the Holy Spirit. He said they would tell about him in many lands (Acts 1:8).

Then Jesus was taken up. A cloud hid him from their eyes. Two men in white came. They said Jesus will come back in the same way.

The friends went back to Jerusalem. They prayed together. They chose a man named Matthias to join the apostles.

Memory Verse
