Jesus and His Day on EarthActs 1:1-11

A REVIEW Given (1:1-3)

A REIGN Promised (1:4-8)Major obstacle – understanding the kingdom

“Wait” – What the Father had promised

Mt. 4:17; Lk. 3:16; Jn. 14:16

Two promises – the establishment of His kingdom and the coming of the Holy Spirit (Mk. 9:1)

Still the Apostles don’t get it

“I am not going to give you God’s calendar, but this how you can know the kingdom has come: You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes” (Mk. 9:1!)

When the Spirit comes the Kingdom comes!

The kingdom cannot confined to the borders of Israel but is a universal kingdom
