1GOD Series: The Book of 'F'ACTS They went from Jesus to Preaching in 10 Days

THE FACTS  ARE  IN  ACTS!

🔑

This post is re-discovering the simple, but deeply profound message preached by Jesus' first disciples. How remarkable that so many overlook this approach is astonishing no matter what sect of Christianity they come from.

Our brethren as the first disciples of Jesus Christ, living The Christian Faith, had the privilege and blessing to set the foundation for those that would believe on Jesus through their words. What we hear around Christianity today often has no connection to actual scripture.

An accurate chronology of the gospel preaching began: After Jesus ascended to the Father, and understanding what followed is in ACTS, is where to find the open preaching of the gospel began, and most importantly, WHO JESUS IS.

Therefore we should search to see what the apostles told the people who Jesus is.

By that approach, we will use the overlooked key 🔑to knowing which Jesus they proclaimed.

The disciples repeated in plain, simple declarations to the people, Jews. pagans, rulers, and gentiles who Jesus is and about God.

The first proclamation about Jesus came in Acts 2. Acts 2:22-36. Keep in mind Jesus was praying for this in John 17:20, it is the key.

KJ21 “Neither I pray for these only, but for them also who shall believe in Me through their word ASV Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word.

First there is Holy Spirit-filled Peter declaring to the crowd WHO Jesus is 📣Acts 2. He declares Christ again in Acts 3/4/5/10.

A converted Paul likewise preaches Christ in places like Acts 9, 13 and 17.

Apollos preached in Acts 18.

And when the risen Jesus Christ was asked "WHO ARE YOU?"

HIS answer in Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26? "I am Jesus ..... of Nazareth..."

A jail-keeper in Philippi asked in Acts 16:30 ...... Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and thy house

*Lord: ruler, master, king. Greek: kurios.

*Jesus: YHVH is salvation, Hebrew "Yeshua"

* Christ: anointed, messiah. Savior.

The same message as Peter in Acts 2:36

Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus ....

If you would like to read the 173 times the word "God" is used in Acts, see this link. It is eye-opening.

But there are examples of words they never wrote or spoke: "Jesus is God". Deity of Christ, "dual nature", "God incarnate", "God became a man", "Christ is God", "fully God-fully man"..

But they DID write these in 1Cor 4:6 ….. Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes;   that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written.

Are the examples above written or not written?

But if you care to see
what their preaching decreed,
in their words not mine,
the truth you will find.

Friends, the wonderful FACTS are in the Book of Acts. Have a BLESSED day.
