The disciples were assured that they would receive the power; power that they needed to carry on their life as a disciple. Power to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth, to be witnesses by performing miracles, to have courage to face enemies, reproaches, persecutions, to profess Christ, to live and abide by his ordinances!! They were to live as witnesses for Christ to preach of the crucified n resurrected Christ to testify of the glory that followed the sufferings of Christ, the only Saviour!! Jesus was extending their mission from Jerusalem, Judea, to Samaria (where he had forbid his disciples earlier to go to but now were sent there) and throughout the whole world!
What was our mission after receiving the Holy Spirit? Was it thickening of our status, assets, future? How far have we taken n acted upon the great commission of Christ? What do we still ask of God? Is it temporal things if this world ? Or is it of the things that sustains??
