Power From On High

"I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” (Luke 24:49)

Jesus was preparing his disciples for the future. It would be an exciting future. It would be a demanding future. It would be a future filled with God's blessing. The blessing would not come easily. There would be many battles. Jesus is preparing them for battle. He's saying to them, 'You won't be on your own. I'll be with you - every step of the way.' Jesus empowered them. He empowers us. The Holy Spirit came to them. The Holy Spirit comes to us. He comes with power. This is more than human power. It's the power of God.
