An invitation

Then he (Jesus) led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.
(Luke 24:50-53)

The beginning of Luke 24, the final chapter of Luke, tells the story of Jesus' resurrection from the dead and two of the other scenes in which the risen Jesus appears. The chosen words for today are the final verses of Luke's gospel. (His book of Acts continues by telling the story of the early church).

The earliest of their response was "they were continually in the temple blessing God".

As always I invite you to find a place of worship tomorrow and the doors of Arlington United Methodist Church are open.
