AN OUTLINE OF
THE BOOK OF ACTS
This book is the bridge taking Christ to the whole world. In it, we see the lessons Christ taught His disciples in secret now proclaimed in Holy Spirit-empowered boldness. The key verse outlines the book:
witnesses in Jerusalem (1-8:3);
Judea and Samaria (8:4-12:25);
and to the ends of the earth (13-28).
The Gospels are the record of the Message of Christ, the Book of Acts is the Message distributed, and the Epistles are the content of the Message. Within Acts, we find the background introductions to epistles of I and II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon (prison epistles);
The Book of Acts covers about 30 years; these two chapters of the Book of Revelation cover the next 1,900 years.
The Book of Acts starts atop the Mount of Olives. Luke, inspired by the Holy Spirit, takes us from the expectant faces of the disciples lifted Heavenward as their Risen Savior ascends triumphantly to the Right Hand of the Father.
This book ends as the Apostle Paul is in prison in Rome and spends his days teaching God’s Word!
What is in between? No less than an astounding record on a group of people who were full of a message they just had to share. And an equally astonishing record of the supernatural empowerment they experienced. Here is a quick sketch of the work of the Holy Spirit in those 1st-century saints.
