What Did Jesus Do POST-Resurrection?? 🤔

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses.” Acts 1:8 (NIV)

Hey friends 👋

We’re starting something new — walking through the book of Acts together and we’re looking at what happened then and what it means for us now!

Acts picks up where Luke left off — everything Jesus began to do and teach because the work of Jesus didn’t end with the resurrection ... It continues through his people!

Verses 3–5:

Jesus didn’t just rise and disappear...

He appeared, spoke, and gave “many convincing proofs.” 👀

This is the foundation:

Jesus is alive—certain, not symbolic!

Then comes the instruction: WAIT

Not for a plan, but for the promise—the Holy Spirit. 🕊️

Before the mission begins, power is needed!

Verses 6–8:

The disciples focus on timing ⏱️

Jesus redirects them ↩️

“You will receive power…”

Not influence or status, but power—and it has a purpose:

“You will be my witnesses.” ✝️

This is what the Spirit does — He empowers ordinary people to represent Jesus clearly!

Verses 9–11:

Jesus ascends—taken up before their very sight and hidden by a cloud☁️

And then the reminder:

“This same Jesus… will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” 👑

The story doesn’t end with his ascension—it points to his return!

Jesus is alive!

The Spirit is essential🕊️

The mission is ongoing⛰️

And He is coming back!

So don’t just stand still—live on mission until He returns. ✝️🔥
