Digging into Acts has been both a blessing and a challenge. The challenge is that this is a book of transition. Christ died and rose again, and at that point the new covenant came into force. The book of Acts takes us through the trials of the early church, moving from a subset of the Jewish nation to a world wide phenomena. Going from a small group of men following Christ to an organisation of thousands, millions across multiple cities. And also transitioning from the physical presence of Christ on Earth to the body of believers with Christ living in our hearts. The apostles struggled with this also. They did not have a big enough vision.
