115 Connecting the Dots of Destiny

Acts 1:1-26, TBC Book Two, Chapter 115
Driven by joy, the disciples journeyed toward Jerusalem, recounting all that they had witnessed. This was indeed a new beginning. Was it only seven weeks ago when their hearts were crushed and their hopes dashed?

Now it seemed long ago when their beloved leader was captured in the middle of the night. He was tried unfairly, beaten brutally, sentenced unjustly, and finally, executed mercilessly by the gruesome penalty reserved for the worst of criminal offenders—death on a cross. But for Jesus, and for those who loved him, this was not the end of his story.

After suffering an agonizing death, Jesus now captured history with the most remarkable miracle of all. Three days after his death, there was evidence that he had risen back to life. Over the next 40 days, he appeared repeatedly, revealing himself to his disciples and proving that he wasn’t just a ghostly spirit. They could see his wounds, feel his nail prints, and physically embrace him. After laying down his life like a sacrificial lamb, Jesus had raised it up again—he had conquered death!

As the disciples walked down the mountain, it was like stepping out of a dream. All of them had seen Jesus rise off the ground. . . .
