The book of Acts is ... What happened next. Jesus came out of the tomb, spent a day here and there with His disciples, gave some very important instructions and then, left to take His place outside of time and to send our precious Friend, Holy Spirit.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT is what happened next. The Acts of the Apostles. These are the same guys a few pages earlier who shared the Last Supper with Jesus. Now they are the caretakers of the Truth, as are we. These devastated and humble men and women then had to overcome their grief and look as Jesus did, at the needs of others. Jesus had recently wept because the people were so lost.
How long since you read the book of Acts. Do it today. This is a big clue into what the Church could look like. People who are full of the Holy Spirit, taking care of each other and providing for the needs of the ministry. Bold, organized, PRAYING, looking out for each other and declaring this Good News no matter the circumstances. Ship wrecks, prison, whatever is an opportunity to do what Jesus did and mingle with people downloading the goodness of God.
As I read I was looking for the Supernatural. I wondered as I read how I would respond to people if they told me some of these stories on the weekend.
...'an angel visited me ... I fell in a trance and had a vision ... I was in prison but the doors opened by themselves and I followed and angel down the street ...' This is what happened next. Lord we need a Revival!
