KIDS STORY: The Ascension of Jesus

Todays story is about:

"The Ascension of Jesus"

Once upon a time, after Jesus had risen from the dead, He spent forty days with His disciples, teaching them many wonderful things about God's kingdom. The disciples were so happy to have Jesus with them again, and they loved learning from Him.

One day, Jesus led His disciples to a hill outside of Jerusalem. As they walked together, the disciples had many questions for Jesus. They wondered about God's plans and when Jesus would make everything right in the world.

"Lord," they asked, "are you going to set up your kingdom now?"

Jesus smiled at His disciples and replied, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

The disciples listened carefully, trying to understand everything Jesus was telling them. Then something amazing happened.

Jesus lifted His hands to bless them, and as He did, He began to rise up into the sky! Higher and higher He went, until a cloud hid Him from their sight. The disciples stood there, staring up at the sky, amazed and a little confused. They wondered where Jesus was going and if they would see Him again.

As they were looking up, two men dressed in white suddenly appeared beside them. These men were angels sent from God.

"Men of Galilee," the angels said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven."

The disciples were filled with hope and joy. They knew that even though Jesus had gone up to heaven, He would one day come back just as the angels had promised. And they also remembered what Jesus had told them about the Holy Spirit. They knew they had an important job to do: to tell everyone about Jesus and His love.

So, the disciples returned to Jerusalem, ready to wait for the Holy Spirit and to share the good news of Jesus with the whole world. And they were never alone, for they knew that Jesus was always with them in their hearts.

This is the story of Jesus' ascension, teaching us that He is always with us, and reminding us of the promise of His return.

The End.

Thank you for listening.
May God bless you!
