Till We Meet Again:

Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

Acts 20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

In Acts 20:17 the Apostle Paul arrives at Ephesus and calls for the elders of the Church of Ephesus to gather together. He explains to them that he has given to them the Gospel of the Lord Jesus and has left nothing out. He has always shown the Love of God in everything he has done as well as everything he has said. He has given Christ his all and he has given his all concerning Christ to them. But we find in verse 25 that he tells them "You'll see my face no more." The people of Ephesus had grown to love Paul and now he was leaving. Paul had been through many trials and persecutions in his life and they knew it. They knew his love for the Lord Jesus was real and that his love for them was real. Paul wasn't just leaving Ephesus because he knew he would be killed soon and Heaven would be his home. Even though the people were hurting at the words of Paul leaving they would see him again in Heaven. Folks, I'm glad of the promise that we'll meet again someday. Are you ready for Heaven? Is Jesus your Savior & Lord?
