Acts 1:1-11 - God’s Kingdom, Spirit and Witnesses

Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Acts 1:1-11 together. In this passage, we saw that the risen Lord Jesus is seated in heaven, but He is still working in this world. In particular, Jesus is spreading the good news of God’s kingdom among people from all nations through Spirit-empowered witnesses like us. We saw that God’s saving rule in Jesus is not just for people from one nation or one group; it is good news for all nations, and Jesus is still saving sinners from all around this world. Incredibly, Jesus is using sinners like us as His witnesses to accomplish His mission on earth. Although we are not apostles, we can stand on the foundation of the apostles given to us in the Scriptures to share the good news of Jesus in our city and around the world. This week, take some time to thank God for His grace in saving sinners like us, and pray for God’s help to seize opportunities to witness for Jesus in our city.
