Acts is the sequel to Luke and really should be titled, “The Acts of Jesus.” It tells the continuing story of how Jesus accomplished His mission through His disciples. If you look carefully at the first eleven verses, you’ll notice each one focuses on Jesus. Acts isn’t primarily about the Apostles or the Holy Spirit. It’s primarily about Jesus Christ.
Jesus couldn’t be stopped by death. He is unstoppable, and He’s still at work today. His mission isn’t over. It’s unfinished. Jesus has entrusted His mission to His disciples. The unstoppable Christ has passed His unfinished mission to His disciples. The book of Acts is the early account of how the disciples of Jesus continued His mission. It not only provides us with history, but it also provides us a pattern for today. We, too, have been entrusted with Jesus’ mission.
