The mysterious presence of Jesus haunts the whole story of Acts. Jesus is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world. We call the book "The Acts of the Apostles, " but we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus (II). " These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today.
