Acts 1:1-26 - You often think when someone leaves that's the end of their part in the story. But in the Bible the ascension of Jesus is just the beginning! The Book of Acts is just that - the acts of the risen and ascended Jesus by the Holy Spirit in the Church. Luke opens, therefore, these records by showing us how the story of God continues on, not just then, but still today!
More than a common-interest group, social group, business, or even industry, the Church is the means by which God keeps His promise to rescue and redeem all of this broken world. When we understand, therefore, the presence we have constantly still with us and the power still at work through us we can join in with the very earliest Christians to see the Kingdom of God continue to come on earth as it is in heaven.
