“Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.” Acts 2:43 NIV
As the disciples proclaimed the Gospel, Jesus was ever confirming His Word with demonstrations of divine power, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He is still doing so today. He also confirms His Word by touching a lost sinner’s heart. As the Holy Spirit draws them to Jesus and saves them when they come in faith. He changes that life and confirms His Word through making them a “new creation”, 2 Corinthians 5:17. He confirmed His Word by keeping His promises not only in the lives of the early disciples, but also in our lives today. Jesus promised that through the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit, He came through for the disciples, and He did. This is confirmed in the book of Acts, which can be known as either the Acts of the Apostles, or the Acts of the Holy Spirit. This was not the end. Many of us have benefited from this kind of confirmation. For Jesus continues to fulfil His Word by speaking to us through His Written Words today. It is like water to a thirsty soul. It is like food to a starving person. It is healing to a wounded spirit. Praise the Lord, that our Saviour and Lord Jesus continues to confirm His Word in a demonstration of power through the Holy Spirit for His glory, in the lives of all those who put their faith in Him. That has been my experience many times down through the years, and I am sure that it has been your experience as well. May we continue to rejoice in our great Motivator, our Lord Jesus Christ, through the power and ministry of His Holy Spirit in our lives.
