The four-year-old looked up from her chicken nuggets and announced to her parents, “We’re all gonna die.” Her parents looked up startled and fearful they had allowed her to see too much COVID coverage on TV. But then she continued matter-of-factly, “But Jesus moved the stone.” No matter what has happened in this world or will happen, the best news is this: Jesus moved the stone. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is true. Let’s celebrate it together, even from a distance.
From Series: "Acts (2020)"
Every book of the Bible is about Jesus. Although some Bibles title the fifth book of the New Testament “The Acts of the Apostles,” it’s still about Jesus. We’re not going to study it as just scholars, but we’re going to study it also as soldiers. Scholars and soldiers tend to be the ones who study history the most. Scholars tend to look at what people used to do; soldiers tend to look for what remains to be done. One is for information, the other is for mission. We will study the Book of Acts for both.
