And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
While they were staring up at the sky watching Jesus disappear, two guys in bright white clothes suddenly appeared right next to them.
Even when you're stuck staring at what you just lost, help shows up when you need it most.
