Jesus’ resurrection was not the culmination of the Greatest Story ever told...but the beginning...
“The former account I made, O Theophilus,
of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,”
Acts 1:1
The Book of Acts from God’s Word chronicles just a few of the many wondrous accounts of Christ’s Body...the church...filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. It is now...our story...or can be.
Should your life seem somehow...dull...unsatisfying...not quite fulfilling, or thrilling, take a look again at Acts. This is a rubber meets the road account of faith in action: broken, sin-scarred, messed up people transformed, healed, and set free by His love and unleashed upon the world. In my darkest hours of soul sickness, the truth of these accounts caused me to know there was more for my life.
Jesus is doing it. I am a novice in faith – though I have been a Christian a long time – but I have seen too many miracles to turn back now. And...each day is a new beginning in the overflow and baptism of the Holy Spirit. "Yes, Lord"...is all I need to say.
