“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
LESSON (Acts 1)
ACTS: JESUS’ PROMISE
Overview of Acts
The Gospels (the first 4 books of the New Testaments) are written by four people (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) about the life of Jesus. Jesus came to earth as a baby. That’s why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus died for us on the cross. And rose again. That’s why we celebrate Good Friday and Easter.
After the Gospels is the book of Acts.
Acts is written by Luke, who is a medical doctor.
Acts talks about what God does among the early Christians — those who believed in Jesus.
It’s tells us all about the “acts of the Holy Spirit”.
Jesus’ Promise
After Jesus rose from the dead, He met with many disciples to prove that He was really alive. He spent 40 days with them and taught them about God’s kingdom.
Then over a meal, He told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. I am sending you a gift from my Father. Wait for it!”
The disciples wanted to know when Jesus will come back again. Jesus told them that only the Father knows. But He assured the disciples that they will not be alone.
Read this: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
Then He went up to heaven before the disciples’ eyes.
What did Jesus promise?
God’s gift, the Holy Spirit, will come
God is the Trinity, 3-in-1 — The Father, The Son (Jesus) and The Spirit (Holy Spirit). So when the Holy Spirit comes, it is God Himself coming as a Spirit.
Why does God need to come as a Spirit? Why couldn’t Jesus stay here forever as a man? Because a man can only be in one place at one time. But a Spirit can be everywhere and in everyone’s hearts at the same time.
In the same way, your mummy and daddy can’t be with you all the time. But God’s Holy Spirit can be with you every second of every day.
The Holy Spirit will give them power
Wow. The disciples have seen what Jesus has done on earth — all His powerful and miraculous acts. And now Jesus was promising them that they could have the same power because they will now have the same Spirit Jesus had.
So can we!
They will be witnesses for Jesus — people who shine Jesus’ light in them
And with Jesus’ life and Spirit in us, the disciples could become Jesus people and share His love and light to everyone around them!
So can we!
Where?
In Jerusalem: Where they were
Judea: Neighbouring area
Samaria: the land of the enemies of the Jews
Ends of the earth
Where do you think you can start sharing about Jesus?
MEMORY VERSE (with actions)
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
HUDDLE TIME
Kids to break up in small groups — normally a girls group and boys group works best. Get kids to fill up the personal details list.
Get kids to share: “Who do I want to share Jesus with?”
Take turns praying for the friends and family who do not yet know Jesus.
Bless each child and close in prayer.
