But they had also seen Him in His resurrected form, and He spoke with them, taught them and encouraged them over the course of 40 days (verse 3). Now He had disappeared upward into the clouds. Two men, apparently angels, promised them He would return in the same manner He had left.
From that time to the present, Christianity has awaited Christ’s second coming.
You’ve likely heard that Jesus

Jesus’ teaching role
When we look back at Christ’s human life on earth nearly 2,000 years ago, perhaps the most important title we could ascribe to Him is that of Teacher. When the Pharisee Nicodemus came to see Jesus, he said, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God" (John 3:2). The word rabbi literally means "master"–the title of respect by which teachers were commonly addressed. Nicodemus recognized what Jesus’ disciples already knew: He was a wonderfully gifted teacher.
