Here is a short
version of what happened on the day that Jesus said good bye - The
Ascension of Jesus or read Bible scripture Acts
1:1-11 and Luke
24:50-53 On
the top of the page is the version for children 3+. Under that
is a very simple version for children under 4 years of age.
Please choose and adapt the version you feel the children are best
suited for.
Some words have been marked with an asterisk (*). At
the end of the story you will find the meaning for these words to
aid you in explaining these words and concepts.
The story of The Ascension is one of great joy. It would
seem quite sad to have to say good bye to Jesus so soon, but He does
promise to come back and He gives his beloved disciples very
important instructions. He instructs his disciples to spread his story
around the world.
