—Acts 1:6-14
by: Leota Stevens.
God cannot be put into a box. He is the master of surprise. The disciples must have been in a constant state of incredulity as they watched events unfold, climaxing here on the Mount of Olives. Within just a three year period, they witnessed Jesus’s life, death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven. Their response to these supernatural events was to meet together and pray. I wonder what they prayed about in that upstairs room. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t for wealth or fame or even health. I think their hearts were hungry for direction, fellowship, interaction, and purpose. It is amazing how God used this little group of like-minded believers to spread his word throughout the known world, changing the course of history, and introducing himself to others.
