The book of Acts, sometimes called the Acts of the Apostles, follows the four gospels in the New Testament and tells the story of the Christian church in its very early days. Luke, who wrote one of the gospels to “Theophilus”[1], is also the author of Acts, which he begins like this:
“In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach.”
Note that word “began.” Considering that the book of Luke ended with Jesus’ ascending into heaven[2], why does Luke write in Acts that Jesus “began to do and teach”? Because what Jesus did before leaving earth was only the beginning. Jesus’ activity in the gospels was only the start of His mission and story, and now He rules from the right hand of God the Father and continues to “do and teach” through His people by His Holy Spirit. He will continue to do this for all eternity.
Therefore, Jesus is still personally active in the world. Are you listening and learning through consistent prayer, Bible study and fellowship? See what He will continue to “do and teach” through you and His church!
