jws From First Baptist
. . DAYS OF BEGINNING
(Acts 1:1-2) ' y
The Gospel according to Luke contains a biography of
Christ up to and including the narrative concerning his
scension. It tells us what Our Lord began to do and to teach
during his sojourn on the earth. While it is an account of
some things which Christ did and said, it does not record the
whole story by any means. Acts is a continuation of the
story which was recorded in Luke's GospeL On ten reported
occasions Christ presented himself after his resurrection.
His talking and eating with his desciples during the forty
days between his resurrection and ascension settled their
doubts, stabilized their opinions, and gave them courage. .
- Acts 2:22-32.
Filled with, controlled by, and empowered by the Holy
Spirit, Peter, who was formerly cowardly, was bold and
courageous in speaking for Christ. Peter's sermon at
Pentecost was truly a masterpiece. .It was scriptural,
logical, practical, pointed, personal, convincing, per
suasive, and effective. In it Peter emphasized the manhood,
Messiahship, miracles, and manifestation of Christ. He
reminded his hearers that Christ has been "approved of
God" among them. This approval was evident in the
miracles and wonders and signs "which God did by him" in
their midst. He proclaimed Christ as the redeeming, risen,
and reigning Messiah.
Peter made much of the crucifixion of Christ. He knew
that if the crucifixion were left out, with its stupendous
message of the innocent suffering for the guilty, then the
sermon would not bear the credentials of Christianity.
Preaching, which is worthy of the name, magnifies the
crucifixion of Christ and sets him forth as the one who bore
our sin in his body on the cross. Peter made it clear to the
Jews that they rejected Christ and they nailed him to the
cross.
God demonstrated his approval of Christ by raising him
fronr among the dead. Men had done everything within their
power to prevent his resurrection rolled a big stone in
front of the entrance to the tomb, put a Roman seal on the
stone, and then placed a guard of soldiers around the tomb
as a final precaution. But, .as Peter said, "It was not possi
ble that he should be holden of death." The Old Testament
scriptures, such as Psalm 16:8-10, had predicted the death
and resurrection of Christ. Christ's deity was vindicated
magnificently when he rose from the dead, which event was
well attested. No fact in history is better attested than that
of theTesurrection of Christ, whom the people had seen, of
whom they had heard, and the one whom God had ap
proved. At least 120 persons bore witness to the fact of his
resurrection. Peter avowed that he and his companions had
actually seen him alive after he had arisen.
Peter's proclamation was born of the irrefutable fact of
In The News
the resurrection of our Lord and his own personal
knowledge of the glorious event. After proclaiming the
, reality of Christ's resurrection, Peter proceeded to declare
bis ascension and exaltation to the right hand of God, His
ascension to the right hand of God and his enthronement
there were followed by the outpouring of the Spirit It is tru
ly good to know that Christ lives and reigns.
Those who have wrought wondrous things for the Lord
have been the ones who have received the good news of the
life, death, burail, and resurrection of Christ, who have
" trusted him as their personal Saviour, who have been
' forgiven of their sins and gloriously saved, and who have
been empowered by the Holy Spirit. They Holy Spirit gives
up power to do exploits for God, to exhibit victorious Chris
tian lives, and to promote the work of our Lord. Christians
receive the power of the Holy Spirit through obedient

wailing, nuiiiuie seu-empiyuig, wnoie-neanea willingness
to be used, and earnest praying. The Holy Spirit cleanses us
from sin, guides us in service, and empowers us for the
spiritual tasks which are assigned to us.
