Acts - Preparation

Everything in Acts chapter 1 is preparation for the great outburst of Holy Spirit. Over a period of forty days, they had listened to the teachings of their Lord Jesus. They had received His commission of advancing God’s global kingdom, and they had been given the promise of the Holy Spirit to empower them. After the ascension there was noting left to do but to wait in prayer. In that time of waiting in prayer and reading Scripture, we see the Lord working.
