1:11 Someday Like the intrepid explorer who sets out to discover exotic new lands and people, Acts is about the church being launched into the world on a mission. There were miracles, riots, arguments, friendships, and shipwrecks, but the spiritual realities beyond such earthly activities were at the heart of things. For believers, the promised end—eternal life spent with the risen Lord who will someday return—brings endurance and hope to the often strenuous adventure of faith.
