DAY
11:
THE POWER TO
SERVE
READ: Acts 1:1-12
Have you ever
seen a really good movie or eaten at a new amazing restaurant? The
moment the movie is over or you leave the restaurant, you are telling
everyone how great your experience was. Anyone who will listen will
probably get the same glowing recommendation from you because your
excitement is too much to contain.
The disciples
were a part of something amazing. This man they had followed for
three years had taught them some amazing things about life, about
God, and about how to serve. This man was killed but three days
later was ALIVE! They saw miracles, heard his teachings, and were
empowered and emboldened to speak about what they had seen and heard.
In Acts 1:8 we
see that we will receive power when we receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit. If you are a believer then you have that power. The amazing
part about that verse is what happens when we receive this power.
We, like the disciples, have no choice but to be His witnesses, at
home, while we are away, and in the entire world. This is better
than any movie or restaurant. This is Jesus!
CHALLENGE: Share

Such a good reminder. Jesus is worth it all!
