John 21 & Acts 1

So we come to the end of the gospels and enter the story of the first century church. The Acts of the Apostles is the official name of the book, but it is really a story of the acts of the Holy Spirit through the Apostles. Before the Holy Spirit came, the acts of the apostles were to hide in fear, run from conflict and sleep through prayer meetings. But after the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, these same guys were preaching the gospel to hostile crowds, seeing multitudes coming to Christ, seeing miracles on a regular basis, traveling all over the world to spread the gospel, and willingly submitting themselves to beatings, imprisonments and death. And that same Holy Spirit that transformed them is in us today. Are we receiving it in the same way the apostles did? Could there be a book written someday about the Acts of the Guthrie Believers?
