Summary
Acts 1 introduces Jesus' ascension and his commission to the disciples to be witnesses of his kingdom to the ends of the earth—not through political power, but through Spirit-empowered faithful witness that transcends ethnicity and geography.
Highlights
Christians do not sit on the sideline and watch God change the world. Jesus ascends to heaven in part so he's not physically here anymore. If there's gonna be people who are gonna move forward with actual hands and feet in the real world, it's gonna be my followers.
The kingdom of God moves forward in a totally upside down different way than the kingdom of this world.
To be a Christian is to say, I align to that kingdom. That's where I belong. That is my home. I'm living out those things right now today because Jesus is not one day going to be king of the universe. He actually is right now today.
