Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is John 21 and Act 1-3
The Acts of the Apostles
Or has also been called the acts of the Holy Spirit through believers. The reason this book has been looked at as the work of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost in some translations) is found in verse 8 of chapter 1. In the verse, Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit is what is going to empower His followers to be his witnesses. It is through this power that the apostles and others were able to do what they did.
It is also the power of the Holy Spirit which gives believers today the power to do the most remarkable thing in the world; to be transformed into the holy people. The power to work miracles, prophecy, or even speak in tongues is small compared to the power to transform the heart of man. This power to transform, I believe, is the real power to be witnesses that Jesus is talking about.
