Apostles' Witnessing of the Acts
6f JesusMarked Birth of Church
V jfcripiure! Luke 24:44-48: The Book of the Acts of the Apostles.
By5! WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D.
jhe Acts of the Apostles be
gan? with the acts of Jesus Christ.
Th Book that tells how the
Christian church began and
spread would never have been
' WTitten, had it not been that the
ApOstles as early disciples had
gone with Jesus as He went about
. doing, good, listening to His
. teaching! observing His ways of
7 graciousness and love, and wit
nessing His acts of mercy and
kindness.
) All that Jesus said and did
stood out the more clearly in
i) their memory, as He left them
with the promise of the Holy
Spirit; and in the light of His
; death and resurrection they un
derstood a great deal that they
hdd never understood before,
"this understanding, loo, brought
a new sense of responsibility
and devotion. The disputes and
quarrels about precedence and
preferment, as to which of them
should be the greater, which had
continued almost to the very
Verge of the Cross, were a thing
, of the past as their minds and
hearts were consecrated to the
great work of witnessing to all
that they had seen and heard.

beginning, following the work
of Christ, in witnessing; and its
continuance and strength through
the centuries has been in wit
nessing. The simple process of
telling to others the good news
that one has heard, and "of wit
nessing to the experience that
one has found, has been at the
heart of all Christian progress.
When Christians cease to be
witnesses, and the church cease?
to be a witnessing church, pre
tension has taken the place of
reality; the spirit of Christ is not
there. "Ye shall be witnesses,"
said Jesus (Acts 1:8) and the
Apostles became witnesses in
deed. One can hardly overestimate,
too, the transformation that took
place in the Apostles themselves.
It was not simply that they be
came humble, and unselfish, and
filled with the spirit of service,
where formerly they had been
self-seeking and jealous of pow
er for themselves; they became
men of power; but what a dif
ferent sort of power it wasl
"Ye shall receive power," said
Jesus, "after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you"; and
the reality and effectiveness of
the baptism of the Spirit could
not more forcefully be displayed
than in the quickness and com
pletenes with which a few Gali
lean fisherman, and peasants,
and lowly people, became sud
denly transformed into leaders
and world-builders of the great
est thing on earth.
They found the perfect lovd
that casts out fear. In the dpth
of their faith they found courage
to face persecution and death for
their Master's sake, and the more
magnificent courage of daring to
win the world for Him. When one
thinks of the smallncss and seem
ing weakness of that band, in
contrast with the vast extent and
power of the Roman world, what
they attempted: and achieved
seems miraculous. Even in an
outward, historic sense the
achievement was amazing; for
in o less period of time than our
own American history has Con
fumed the Galilean had con
quered, and Christianity became
the official religion of the Roman
Empire.
But it is the inward triumph
of Christ over the souls of men
that is vital; and the Apostolic
achievement goes on and is re
peated wherever and whenever
the Apostolic conditions are ful
filled. Jesus still lead on!
