BIBLE STUDIES ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
|
 |
The Acts of the Apostles is
not just a history of the events of the early church. It is that,
but it is much more. Looking past the surface of the often
miraculous events, the secret of the lives of those early believers is
revealed to all those who have eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts
that understand.
|
The early followers of Jesus knew that he had been crucified and
buried. They also witnessed that the same Jesus had been raised from
the dead and ascended. They were now experiencing the risen Christ
coming back into their lives to be their life. The Holy Spirit was
becoming the essence of their lives.

There are listed thirty-six miraculous divine
interventions recorded in the Acts of the Apostles: people are healed as
the shadow of Peter passes over them; Phillip is transposed from one
location to another; a young girl is raised from the dead; a man was made
blind because he was causing problems among the people; to name just a
few. In thirty years, there were over thirty-six recorded times where
Jesus manifested Himself in spectacular interventions of His divine power.
Although the wonder of the thirty-six marvelous miracles is astonishment
enough to keep us mystified, it is actually the "ordinary" daily
manifestation of Jesus in the lives of the people that is challenging. Perhaps, the most striking characteristic of the Acts
of the Apostles is the
revelation of the extreme joyfulness that is seen in those early
Christians. As Peter would later say, the way of Christ is always
"joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Pet.1:8). What made
them able to rejoice in the time of severe troubles?
