More Than Stone

Am I the only one that wonders what ” matters concerning the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:6) Jesus spoke of and why the apostles did not speak more on those matters? This odd 40 days of silence perplexes me. Certainly, the disciples thought that Jesus was back and imminently going to restore the “Kingdom of Israel.” Just as they were sure He was going to do prior to the cross….but still, what of the silence on those 40 days?

Were they so focused on this idea of Jesus restoring the earthly Kingdom that they thought it not necessary to record these things?

Is there a lesson or message for us in that 40 days of silence between the resurrection and ascension? Your thoughts?

When I had the chance to go to Mars Hill for the Isn’t She Beautiful conference. At that time, Rob Bell said that at the beginning of Lent, a plan would be unveiled for people around the world, that feel part of Mars Hill to get involved. Here is the XYZ, watch the video and if your intrigued, check out the site. It’s so cool.
