Chapters 28, 29
What Do You Do After Easter?

What Did Jesus Leave Behind? The Church.
 
“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:42-27    


The Church is what Jesus left behind. It is NOT something we “go to”. It is the family of believers in Jesus Christ worldwide. It is God’s forever family which eats the Lord’s Supper together, studies God’s Word together, loves each other, helps the hurting and worships God. As this happens with sincere hearts (as opposed to going through the motions) God constantly adds new believers.

This is great picture of the church of Jesus Christ. This is what we aspire to be in the Christian Life Center. . . . a family that Loves God, Serves Others and Shares the Gospel freely.
 
In what way will you live out the Great Commission of Jesus which is to share the Gospel freely with others?

Prayer  

“Lord, there is nothing like the Body of Christ when it is working well. Thank you Lord for the men, women and children you have given me the honor to “do life” with. Help me to be for them as a good a brother/sister in Christ to them as they have been for me. Amen.”
