The Sunday school lesson that day was on the resurrection and the ascension of the Lord Jesus. Uncle Bill wanted to make sure that the children understood what they had read.
“How do you know that Mother is upstairs?” he asked.
“Because we saw her go up, Uncle,” Elaine answered.
“But you only saw her start to go upstairs,” said Uncle. “Maybe she didn’t get there.”
“Yes she did,” persisted Timmy. “I know she is there ‘cause I went to the bottom of the stairs and called her and she answered.”
“But did you see her?” asked Uncle.
“No, but I heard her and she spoke to me. She said my name, and I know her voice,” answered Tim emphatically.
“Children,” said Uncle Bill, “the disciples saw the Lord Jesus go into heaven. We know that He is there—alive! because the Bible says so. We talk to Him in prayer, and He talks to us. By His Spirit and through His Word He speaks to us and we know it is His voice!”
