Index "The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen . . ." (Acts 1:1, 2 NKJV). The Book of Acts is the sequel to the story of Christ. In fact, it's the sequel of sequels - the greatest sequel ever written. In his book, The Acts of the Apostles, William Barclay wrote: ". . . Acts is the most important book in the New Testament"—a bridge between the Gospels and Epistles. Except for a few facts found in Paul's writings, it's the only inspired New Testament book offering church history. The Book of Luke is the longest book in the New Testament; Matthew the second; and Acts the third. While Paul wrote more books, Luke wrote more content. 30% of the New Testament is found in Luke and Acts. It might be helpful to think of Acts as describing the building of a railway for God—a Gospel railroad extending from the city of Jerusalem via the various provinces of the Roman Empire, to the great metropolis of Rome itself. The towns and cities occupied for Jesus Christ, are like train stations along this Gospel railroad. Section I: A Plan
