In our last visit we learned how the last verses of the Gospel of Luke are amplified in the opening chapter of the other book Luke wrote, the book of Acts.  What Jesus said the Father had promised, and what He was going to implement, is introduced in the first chapter of Acts. 

For forty days Jesus appeared and gave convincing proof that He was alive.  Then before He ascended to heaven He gave them this promise: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”  The phrase, “you will be my witnesses,” according to the original language should be translated, “you must be my witnesses.”

This happened on the day of Pentecost recorded in Acts 2.  The apostles who had been afraid to talk to others publicly began to stand up and address large crowds after the Holy Spirit entered their lives.  Under His control what the apostles said had a powerful effect on all who heard.  In fact, after Peter’s first message 3000 people made a decision to believe and be baptized.

In the days that followed they met daily in the temple courts and in their homes.  They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread and to prayer.”  What an amazing beginning for the church that then began to spread throughout the world. 

If you have believed and become a part of the church, how is God using you in this grand movement?
