Acts 1:8

Acts 1:8

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.'"

Here are Jesus’ final words to his disciples before he was taken up to Heaven. He has already shown his power over death through his resurrection, and now he promises the power of the Holy Spirit to his disciples. And by this power, the good news of Jesus’ resurrection would spread, and not stop until it reaches the ends of the earth.

But the power of the Holy Spirit is not limited to Jesus’ first disciples. The power of the Spirit and the witness of the resurrection have continued throughout the church and into the present day. And all of us who are followers of Jesus are a part of this continuing story.

What a great joy it is to be bearers of the best news ever told. And what great comfort to know that by the Spirit, we have the power to be the witnesses that Jesus calls us to be.
