Acts 1:1-11
Acts is a letter Luke wrote to the official Theophilus, about the Jesus after his suffering by many proofs, and what his disciple have done.
Jesus appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
Wait for the promise of the Father, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
It seems the apostles still see God's kingdom in nationalistic terms, expecting Israel in the end to become an independent state.They didn't know what the kingdom of God, they were thought the kingdom of Israel.
The time or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the world.
Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
The first part of Luke's work this Gospel is an account of all that Jesus did and taught during his life on earth.
Act continues the story after his return to God, when his work continues through the apostles, empowered by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost五旬節.
Why?
Jesus wanted us know the kingdom of God, it is not the real kingdom in the earth, but it is in our heart and in the heaven.
The authority of Holy Spirit come is belong to the God, when will come how to come has fixed by his own authority.
Holy Spirit come upon us for we will be God's witness from here extent to the end of the world.
Jesus was ascended to heaven, he will come in the same way from heaven at that day.
The cloud: The sign of God's glory and the means of conveying Jesus from them.
How?
H.S. is come to us will be God's witness but not be us. I needs the Holy Spirit to teach me and guide me to honor the name of Jesus in this world.
