Decided to go up in the title

Now, in the first week of March 2010, our church will be celebrating its 21st anniversary and entering its third sabbatical year. While thinking about how to spend 2010 in front of God, I waited for the heart that God gave me. Even though I read the Bible a while ago and passed by, I kept saying, “Look! A new heaven and a new earth” came to mind, and I grasped it as the word God gave to our church as the theme in the new year. "Purple! I will do new things” (Isaiah 43:19), and I am convinced that God is going to see and tread on “new heavens and a new earth” in the new year. I believe that God will open up a new world not only in our church, but also in the homes and businesses of our members. I pray that this dream given to the servant will come into your hearts as well.
Today's text is easy to think of as the day that Jesus spent 40 days after His resurrection and ascension to heaven was imminent because of the expression, “The promise of His ascension to heaven is near” (v. 51). Rather, it is a general expression of Jesus’ death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension. It is right to accept it. Simply put, it is the time when the time of Jesus' crucifixion is imminent, and the fact that Jesus was “firmly determined to go up to Jerusalem” (v. It is difficult to live in a world where it is difficult to live even if you decide to live.
Now we have to go up to 2010. We must enter the new heavens and new earth that have been given to us. You may encounter disturbances and resistance forces. Among them, what we should always be on guard against is to spend the year doing good, good, and worthwhile things rather than evil and sin, and work hard not to lose the bright glory when we see the new heavens and new earth that God has given us. So, I hope the new year will be a year of experiencing a really new world.
