Hemelvaartdag
Hemelvaart herinner ons vandag nie aan ’n Jesus wat weggegaan het nie… maar aan ’n Here wat steeds naby is.
Toe Christus opgevaar het hemel toe, het Hy nie Sy kinders alleen, bang of rigtingloos agtergelaat nie. Hy het die belofte gegee: “Ek is by julle al die dae.”
En dalk is dit juis wat mense vandag die nodigste het, die herinnering dat ons nie alleen deur moeilike tye hoef te stap nie.
Ons leef in ’n wêreld vol onsekerheid, hartseer, verandering en bekommernis. Party dae voel swaar. Party mense voel moeg. Party harte dra stil pyn. Maar Hemelvaart herinner ons dat Christus steeds teenwoordig is, nie net in kerke of op spesiale plekke nie, maar hier tussen gewone mense, in gewone dae, in elke huis en elke hart wat Hom soek.
Deur Sy Gees bring Hy steeds hoop waar daar moedeloosheid is.
Vrede waar daar onrus is.
Troos waar daar hartseer is.
En lig waar dinge donker voel.
As gelowiges word ons geroep om ook daardie hoop sigbaar te leef, deur liefde, geduld, omgee en geloof in die mense rondom ons.
Mag Hemelvaartdag vandag vir elkeen ’n herinnering wees:
Jy stap nie alleen nie.
God het jou nie vergeet nie.
Christus is steeds met ons. 🤍
Ascension Day
Today, Ascension Day does not remind us of a Jesus who left… but of a Lord who is still near.
When Christ ascended into heaven, He did not leave His children alone, afraid or without direction. Instead, He gave this promise: “I am with you always.”
And perhaps that is exactly what people need most today, the reminder that we do not have to walk through difficult times alone.
We live in a world filled with uncertainty, sorrow, change and worry. Some days feel heavy. Some people feel tired. Some hearts carry silent pain. But Ascension Day reminds us that Christ is still present, not only in churches or special places, but here among ordinary people, in ordinary days, in every home and every heart that seeks Him.
Through His Spirit, He still brings hope where there is discouragement.
Peace where there is unrest.
Comfort where there is sorrow.
And light where life feels dark.
As believers, we are called to live out that hope visibly, through love, patience, compassion and faith toward the people around us.
May Ascension Day be a reminder to each of us today:
You are not walking alone.
God has not forgotten you.
Christ is still with us. 🤍
