Mission completed. Day 40 of 40 arrived. No more time together. No more face-to-face teaching. No more familiar fellowship. It was another chilling ending, another scary beginning. Following Jesus now meant ‘following’ his words, his teachings, his example. Next ‘things’ would present themselves and somehow they would know, in those moments, what to do. And then there was this unnamed, mysterious-sounding, gift of power Jesus was sending from heaven for them. But until its arrival, they were just to wait. Simply wait.
