But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8) Acts chapter one lays the foundation for the entire book of Acts. Through Luke's introduction, the ascension, and the first business meeting of the early church, you will discover that Jesus, through His Spirit, is the great need of our lives. Jesus would never have been victorious in redeeming a world through the cross, nor would the disciples have experienced revival throughout the world, without the indwelling Holy Spirit. This is our only chance as well. Our family, our personal victory, and our evangelism are all dependent upon one factor-the infilling and sourcing of God's Spirit This expositional commentary will lead you from the start of the early church to the preparations for Pentecost. The Cross Style Commentary series combines expositional study in the Word of God with practical application for real-world living.
