You may have heard it said that when you embrace God in your life, walking in the choices and lifestyle of Christ, it should be evident in everything you are saying, doing, and being. In a world where everyone is out for themselves, those who follow Christ stand as beacons of light, spreading God’s unselfish love, compassion, and truth to all those around.
The book of Acts
Luke was responsible for writing the passages of Acts and contrary to popular belief, Luke was not one of Jesus’s disciples but a loyal follower and servant of God. He was present at several events and situations that Jesus and His disciples were involved in, as evident by his gospel, and was mentioned by the apostle Paul in a letter to Timothy as being with him during his missionary journeys (2 Timothy 4:10-11).
As we learn later in Acts 2, a sound like a mighty wind came over the disciples during the Day of Pentecost and filled the room they were in. Suddenly, they were speaking in languages, “tongues,” they didn’t understand, while divided tongues like a fire stood over them (Acts 2:1-4).
the global spread of the gospel
Just as the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit’s guidance and peace to move forward in proclaiming Jesus to the world, we are filled with the same to be faithful witnesses of Jesus to those who don’t know Him or have a personal relationship with God.
When Jesus told the disciples He would be returning to heaven, the disciples were wondering what they were to do next, both for ministry and in their lives. As always, Jesus had the answer. They would continue what He had started, spreading the gospel to the world and letting them know God loved them. The mission is still the same today for us as believers; we are called to share Jesus with the world.
