Acts 2 is a portrait of the church, a beautiful portrait of the bride of Christ. We can read Acts 2 strategically and list the purposes of the church – worship, discipleship, fellowship, evangelism, and prayer. We could even grade ourselves on how well we’re doing strategically. But instead of using Acts 2 to grade us, it’s better to let it inspire us. Acts 2 describes a way of life, a way of learning, a way of loving, a way of worshiping, a way of sharing the Gospel. The better approach is to focus on the spirit and the heart of the people that was so attractive and compelling that others wanted to know more about Jesus.
