Acts

Introduction

The author of Acts is Luke, we really don’t know all that much about Luke from the New Testament. We know that he was a doctor, we do not really know that he was a Gentile, as some believe but we do know that he was a companion of Paul. The events recorded in The Acts cover a period of 32 years.

This book records the ascension and promised return of the Lord Jesus, the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Peter's use of the keys, opening the kingdom (to the Jews at Pentecost, and to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius; the beginning of the Christian church and the conversion and ministry of Paul. (Scofield)

Luke’s Gospel describes only the beginning of Jesus’ work; Acts describes its continuation, and the work of Jesus continues to our present day!

Acts takes us up to about 60 or 61 AD, with Paul in Rome waiting to appear before Caesar Nero. This same Nero began his infamous persecutions of Christians in 64 AD.

This epistle shows the outpouring of the Holy Spirit; the power needed for ministry. This same power works today in the faithful children of God.The adventure begins with the ascension of Christ and is continuing, this is the church age soon to end when christ returns again as he promised he would.
