The disciples stood face to face with the resurrected Christ. With eager expectation they asked, “Will you at this time restore the kingdom of Israel?” (Acts 1:6). Jesus’ reply would not only change the direction of the disciples’ lives forever, but the life of every believer since. The resurrected Lord lays out His “Master Plan” that will ensure the spread of His glory to the ends of the earth. In this message we explore the blueprint and identify four points to ensure our lives are aligning to Christ’s desire and expectations. These are presented under the following four headings:
- The Timing (vv. 4-7)
- The Task (v. 8)
- The Assurance (vv. 9, 11)
- The Temptation (vv. 10-11)
