Acts 1

Acts Chapter 1 talks about the last instructions of Christ to the disciples. This chapter  also states how Jesus ascended to Heaven and how He will come down again in the same manner He has gone to heaven.

After Jesus was in heaven, the disciples prayed to God to help them choose a replacement for the traitor, Judas. The lot fell upon a man called Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

 

 

JESUS’ LAST INSTRUCTIONS

Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (KJV)

We can see that Jesus’ last instructions to his disciples was that they should be witnesses of Him, His ressurection and the salvation He provides for us to have everlasting life. Jesus said that the disciples should tell the whole world of the good news about Jesus. 

WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS?

- Jesus died for our sins.

- Jesus paid for our sins. (Hence, we no longer have to suffer because of our transgressions)

- If we believe in Him and recognize Him as our savior, He will erase our sins and make us new. (not renew, He will make us really new)

-We can have salvation through Jesus Christ. (Salvation leads to eternal life)

That message was not only for the 12 disciples, it is also for us as we are His disciples these days. We should evangelize and tell the world about Jesus.
