Tuesday: Changing the World? - Our Business is to Witness

9/15/2020

Today's Reading:
Acts 1:1-8 (NIV)
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Consider This:
  • What is happening in these verses?
  • What is Jesus trying to communicate?
  • What is the primary purpose of this passage of scripture?
  • Why is it in the bible? What does God want you to know? 
Treasure Application:
  • What are some ways that you could be a poor witness and cause bondage in others?
  • What are some beliefs about salvation that keep some people in bondage?
  • Name some methods for helping those you are close to learn the truth about salvation?
