Acts 1:15
“In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said,”
In the waiting for the Holy Spirit, Peter stands up and takes the leadership role in this, the first church gathering. We see that this is not just the eleven, but this group has grown to 120 persons in all. There were about four million Jews living in Palestine at this time, so the total number of believers was less than .01%. This group of simple uneducated people were told to GO and witness to the ends of the earth, and they did.
The Kingdom of God
Is more than numbers
It is a community
Of obedience
It does not make sense that these few people gathered together in a room were the ones that changed the entire world and flipped culture upside down. When God’s Spirit gets ahold of God’s people, God’s work is done, God’s way. Father God, help me to be focused on You today, and allow my heart to beat in rhythm with Your heart, so that all I think say and do, is pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Be obedient to my King
