Lessons from Bethany

A VISIT TO BETHANY WITH JESUS.

Luke: 24:50: “And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them”.

This was the last place where Jesus took the disciples, just before His ascension.  This was the place where Jesus gave them the commission to go all over the world and make disciples. Whatever Jesus did has great spiritual significance. What could be the reasons for taking the disciples to Bethany, before His departure?

3. Bethany is the place of worship. Mark:14:1-10

4: Bethany is the place  where Jesus wept. John:11:35

Jesus expects His disciples to practice all these principles and also preach all these precious truths.  This is the place where unclean people were cleansed, dead man was raised, believers spent precious time of communion with the Lord at His feet. Thi is the place where they worshipped the Lord and also received the commission. This is the place where Disciples were reminded of the great revelation of Christ- the second coming.
