I was delighted as I read the Book of Acts pamphlet: The Story of the early Church, by Rose Publishing. The pamphlet hits the Bull’s Eye in making clear what the focus should be for us the people of God empowered by His Spirit. The pamphlet states;”By studying and understanding the way God acted in history, we become more attuned to the ways God is active among us today. God is active, as the book of Acts shows. We must be sensitive to the way the Spirit moves in our midst and in the world to join in the mission.”
The author says ‘The presentation of the Gospel message to a variety of people and cultures in the Book of Acts helps us to see the Gospel message is the same while we must rely on the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom in presenting it to people God connects us with.” This truth must be applied actively if we are to accomplish all that Jesus began to do and teach.
I really enjoyed the detail given as the continuation of Jesus’ mission is seen being carried out through the disciples as they were empowered by the Holy Spirit in proclamation and miraculous deeds.
Jesus, the Kingdom of God and the Mission He has given us must be kept in focus if we are to accomplish our portion of the work of God in our day.
