5 Wr you gave up chocolate or not, ve made it through anor lent. W! Today is third seven Easter Sundays. A unique feature this season is that first read, usually taken from Old Testament ill come from Acts Apostles. & # Œ I thought it lpful refresh my knoledge about Book Acts as I both select music and prepare for this ekly column. Here are some ideas gleaned from my read that might be lpful you. T Acts Apostles is second part a to-part volume composition that scholars call Luke- Acts. T Gospel Luke tells us that Jesus is propt sent by God "visit people". T Book Acts speaks apostles and early church as y carry out Jesus mission "br good nes poor" by perform orks mercy accord his teach. (I have a feel you ll be ar more about this in future articles.) Acts continues sry Jesus in sry early church, from its birth at Pentecost its success among Gentiles all ay Rome. T riters intention as not so much give a hisry narrative but rar shape a ological vision. ( or ords share his perspective ho God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are.) An important element this relationship as that God s Spirit orked in Jesus as ll as in his Apostles. T riter Acts also iss depict and defend God s continued activity in orld.
