There are two themes in the Book of Acts: first, Christians in the 1st Century were deeply connected to Christ. Secondly, all they needed was the power to come on, and out came the message! Isn’t that what we need to ask ourselves as we study this book? Are we tuned in to Christ? Are we plugged into the power source?
To show you what I mean, look at Acts 1:8
“But you shall receive power (they were plugged in to the power source) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me (they were tuned in to Christ) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Turn over to Acts 5:20
“Go, stand in the temple (by the power of being plugged into the Holy Spirit) and speak to the people all the words of this life (they were tuned into Jesus Christ).”
Welcome now to the 44th Book of God’s Word.
The theme of ACTS may be stated as “Christ our Mission and Message” (1:8) Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (NKJV)
