Day 28: The Spirit Empowers

Daily Thread: Acts is a Historical Book of the New Testament, recording the birth and growth of the early church. It bridges the Gospels with the Epistles, showing how the Spirit empowered the apostles to carry the gospel outward. At Pentecost, the Spirit’s coming fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and reversed Babel’s scattering. Paul later affirmed before Agrippa that the twelve tribes still longed for the hope of God’s promises (Acts 26:6–7), showing the continuity of Israel’s story. Acts demonstrates that God’s covenant purposes extended through Israel into the worldwide mission of the church.
