Summary: An ongoing work of Jesus through prayer in His name.
ANSWERED PRAYER.
3. Even with His departure, His work goes on (John 14:12-14).
Jesus miraculously fed the multitudes. Peter saw 3000 converts on his first outing (cf. Acts 2:41). Ever since that day the church has grown by fits and starts, leaps and bounds.
Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead. So did the Apostles. Even to this day there is a healing ministry in the Church.
Jesus rose from the dead. In the fullest sense, He is the “firstborn from the dead” (cf. Colossians 1:18). He guarantees our power over death, and the resurrection power courses in our very veins.
The Book of Acts is a continuation of the Gospel. It contains an account of what Jesus afterwards said and did by the power of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of His Apostles. Yet it is an open-ended book.
There is an on-going work of Christ in our midst, and through prayer in His name we can accomplish anything (John 14:13-14).
