Proclaiming the Resurrection

.....then and now !

During Eastertide we meditate and reflect on the life and work of the early church described in the Acts of the Apostles. We seek to soak up the enthusiasm, the energy, the zeal, the commitment, and the complete and utter dedication of the first disciples and apostles.

Many say: 'There can be no doubt that the early Church was surely blessed and anointed with signs and wonders and knew an unparalleled evangelistic zeal and courage. This was the Holy Spirit kick-starting the Church. Such signs, wonders and evangelistic zeal are not for today. Our job nowadays is to maintain the church and keep it plodding on.'

We refute this thinking. The Holy Spirit didn't simply kick-start the Church: the same Holy Spirit who worked in these early believers is the same Holy Spirit at work in us today.
