oRead Acts 1:9-14. 1:11: "why do you stand gazing."

 

Aren't we supposed to gaze at Christ?  The problem is that Christ was not there.  Christ's physical return to heaven was essential for the Holy Spirit to come (Jn. 16:7).  The Holy Spirit must come so every believer, at all times, has Christ in him.  So they were told to quit gazing at nothing.  Yet they did gaze upon Christ.  For 10 days they prayed, and that is the most wonderful way of beholding of Christ.  Believers need to daily gaze upon the Lord through the word and prayer; they also need to set aside extended times to gaze upon Christ and nothing or no one else.
