By the third chapter of Genesis, man had fallen and was separated from God by sin. The rest of the bible is God’s efforts to the relationship between man and God. That plan is executed through the Gospel of Jesus. The bible is clear that we must be born again to be saved. Much of the world rejects this idea altogether, and the Christian world is divided in what it means to be born again. Rev. Starks examines the evidence found in Acts about the plan of salvation and the elements noted by the bible as being critical.

Our text is one of the most powerful concepts about life and living in the bible. If repentance can restore our relationship with God, will it not also work to restore our relationship with each other? Bro. Hughes uses this single line from Acts to impart the wisdom that can change our lives and our relationship with each other.

The church described in Acts 2 is still the model we use today. The Bible tells of a church that was successful and that grew exponentially. The church experienced this growth and success in the face of oppression and persecution. Jesus established the church by His death on the cross. We often refer to the church as a family. We are all united and connected by blood, just like natural families. Our church family is there to support each other through every trial and struggle. God wants His church to be unified. Acts 2 tells us that they were all together in one accord. The bible also describes the church as the body. The body is unified and together; what happens to one part of the body affects the other parts. God bestows gifts of the spirit to his church. When people in the body of Christ yield to moves of His Spirit, these gifts operate supernaturally to help the church. Finally, the church is love. God desires that members of His body love one another and have a passion for the lost.

In our text, Jesus is in the synagogue in his hometown. He reads from the book of Isaiah 61. Most scholars agree that the reading from Isiah would not have been part of the worship schedule that day. Jesus is not interested in following our program for worship. When he concluded the reading, all the people were amazed. The text Jesus read was slightly different than how we see it portrayed here in Luke Jesu put a period where Isiah had a comma; He was designating division between what had been in the past, and what the future will be. What does Jesus want to close the book on in our lives?
