In difficult days and facing dire circumstances, it is always good to remind ourselves that God is greater than all.

Scott Pauley is examining the miracles of Jesus recorded for us in God's Word.

Our hope is that the message in these

miracles will become real in your life. Christ is enough. Let's open our Bibles and join the study now. What a study we've had in the miracles of Jesus,

and today we come to the last miracle he performed

So Dr. Luke writes two books, Luke and Acts.

He writes both of them to a man by the name of Theophilus to try to instruct him and who

Christ is and the fact that the Lord's work continues to this present day.

But he ends Luke with the ascension and and he begins acts with the ascension,

and it gives us a beautiful glimpse of our ascended Lord.

Luke chapter 24, verse number 50, says, and he led them out as far as to Bethany,
