Christ Preceding His Apostles to Heaven
Acts 1:1-12
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,…


As one who precedes a mighty host, provides and prepares rest for their weariness, and food for their hunger, in some city on their line of march, and having made all things ready, is at the gates to welcome their travel-stained ranks when they arrive, and guide them to their repose; so Christ has gone before, our Forerunner, to order all things for us there.

(A. Maclaren, D. D)
