00:00the chibi news daily reflection hello i'm reverend mike at st leonard's denton remember that warm
00:09night in wembley the final of euro 2020 where we all just knew football's coming home
00:17luke shaw scores an early goal for england it's actually coming home but fast forward two hours
00:24and it's that same old heart-sinking story england lose on penalties jesus disciples also knew the
00:32pain of dashed expectations for three years they'd seen miracles and momentum here's the one who's
00:40going to beat back the romans and put our country on the map but instead jesus speaks of his return
00:47to heaven no earthly kingdom the romans are still in charge it's not coming home but there's a big
00:55difference with that night in wembley jesus departure isn't a defeat but a promise i will send the holy
01:04spirit to you and when the spirit fills the disciples they build god's kingdom not just where they are
01:10but in every corner of the globe it is the kingdom that advances not by might and sword
01:17but by transformed hearts have you ever expected one thing but found that the outcome is even better
01:24than you'd ever dreamed that's so often the case with jesus and his kingdom is open to all
