Who is the Bible about?

Since the beginning of our study of Acts we have focused on three primary themes that emerge from the text: the gospel, community, and mission. Essentially, the book of Acts shows us that the Gospel creates a community on mission.

So who set this pattern in motion?

When we began our study of the book of Acts we led in with a “prequel”, a quick glimpse into the final chapter of Luke’s first writing project, the Gospel of Luke. In Chapter 24 of the gospel of Luke we see Jesus, resurrected from the dead, teaching his disciples who the Bible is all about. After training his disciples how announce the gospel from all of Scripture, he sends them out as witnesses into an unbelieving world.

I’ve quoted Tim Keller before on the need to read the bible with Christ as the center. Here is a video on his “Jesus is the true and better…” sermon from the Gospel Coalition.

We have 3 weeks remaining in our study of the book of Acts. This week we’ll tackle Acts 21-23, so read ahead if you can!
