“He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father....” 
 
(Acts 1:4) 
 
Prepare For Pentecost
I left them there on earth— 
My disciples—gazing up  
as I ascended in My resurrected body. 
They could no longer see Me. 
For I was received from there 
 at My Father’s right hand. 
I left them on earth, just as you now remain, 
not without hope, however. 
I continue to send the Promise of the Father, 
following your obedience to My command. 
Keep on assembling and waiting,  
anticipating the One to come in My place. 
I send Him, not just to be with you, 
but to fill you with My presence. 
Is your temple ready, dear one, 
to receive Me in you?
