And being assembled together with them,
He commanded them not to depart from
Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;
for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy
Spirit not many days from now.”
Therefore, when they had come together, they
asked Him, saying,
“Lord, will You at this time restore the
kingdom to Israel?”
And He said to them, “It is not for you to
know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
But you shall receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
These all continued with one accord in
prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with
His brothers
Our Lord had said time and time I will not live
you alone the Spirit will come, after the resurrection He reminds them of the
Father’s promise.
Our Father’s promises for our lives are in His
Word; often we have to wait on the promise.
How do we wait on the promise? In prayer; and in supplication,
humbly, and sincerely.
