Week 8, Day 5

I hope you have all enjoyed this look in Acts and our study in the Kingdom of God.  I just love the way the book of Acts ends. Paul, in prison, is “proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ…” He ends the book by doing what Jesus was doing in the opening verses of Acts – proclaiming the Kingdom of God.  He had indeed continued “all that Jesus began to do and teach (Acts 1:1).”
 
Paul’s example serves as a reminder of our task today.  As Christ’s church we are called to do what He did, teach what He taught, and proclaim the Kingdom that He rules.  The church in Acts did this in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.  We are called to do it in Chapel Hill and Durham, the state of North Carolina, and to all the corners of the world.  May we be faithful in this spectacular task!
