There
is an adage that is well renown,
That
what goes up, must at some point come down.
It
helps to explain somewhat graphically,
Sir
Newton’s Laws of Motion and Gravity.
Gravity,
Newton did not discover.
God’s
rules it obeys He did uncover.
It
was in full force from the beginning, most assuredly!
He
just postulated about it mathematically.
What
if something goes up, but by gravity isn’t
bound,
But
yet it most certainly will return to the ground?
Scratch
your head and think just for a quick moment,
What
has mass but ignores gravity’s warrant?
To
some men of Galilee, an angel once said,
As
they stood and marveled at the sight overhead:
This same Jesus, taken
up from you into Heaven,
Will return in like manner, i.e., in the same fashion.*
To
them and to many today this inspires hope,
Enabling
us with trials of this life to cope.
But
to make sure hope stays strong, without any doubt,
Here
are some juicy details the angel LEFT OUT!
Cloud
hidden, into Heaven Jesus did ascend,
And
on a cloud, to us He promised to descend.
His
ascent, a solo journey, only seen by
a few.
His
descent won’t be solo, and will be a worldwide view!
‘…And you will be with
Him!’,
that angel omitted to say,
To
those men of Galilee on that very blissful day.
If
Jesus is your Savior, and He is also your LORD,
You
will be with Him as He unsheathes
His victory sword!
Let
this blessed hope feed your spirit and fuel your soul.
Do
your best to keep it fresh; never let it grow old.
O’er
all the world, for a thousand years He will rule,
Hey, doesn’t this give new
meaning to the ole term, Yule?
