Limerick



A band of Apostles gathered round
To hear the message that was found
For Jesus soon would leave
But they his Spirit receive
And then the Spirit did abound

Potential actions to take in response



One practical way to respond to the teaching of Acts 1.6-14 is to live out the same spirit of prayer and expectation that the apostles demonstrated. We can do this by taking time to pray regularly for the Lord’s guidance in our lives, to ask for Him to use us in His work, and to be expectant of the ways He will move in our lives. We should also look for ways to be of service to those around us, as the apostles were sent out to be witnesses of Jesus to the ends of the earth. We can do this through acts of kindness, volunteering, and simply speaking words of encouragement and truth. Finally, we should be in community with other believers, just as the apostles were. We can do this by joining a church, Bible study group, or other fellowship. By living out these practices, we can respond to the teaching of Acts 1.6-14 and be faithful witnesses of Jesus in our own lives.
