Acts is wrote by Luke so this is his second book after the book of Luke, and sort of picks up where Luke left off. Acts 1:8 a very important and essential verse to us! Worth memorizing for sure!!! We so much focus on the future and the disciples wanted to know what would happen but Jesus told them, to focus on the here and now. Go reach out and spread the Word all over!! The Holy Spirit is apart of us so we can also GO! Love 14 and that the all meet together and were constantly united in prayer; a great illustration of how we should be. They filled the missing 12 disciple with Matthias to replace Judas. I find there is the importance in verse 8 but other than that don't find much in it--- I posted it on my face book but for those that didn't see it: The Point of Acts: The unstoppable grace of God in Christ Jesus is for every race and nation. How great for now in what we live in.

Yes Acts 1:8 is a great verse. It has been a theme verse in youth group and it was our theme verse when the churches of buhler got together and did service projects around town. It is Jesus giving us a commission to be His witnesses everywhere we go. It is also Jesus' last recorded words here on this earth so I think they are very important.
Jesus also gives us the Holy Spirit which is key to guiding us and helping us carry out what he wants us to.
I like the book of acts because it is the record of the early church of Christ and gives us great guidelines on how we should be as a church.

Verse 8 is good! If we let the Holy Spirit in he will give us power so that we can spread the word if God all over the earth. I cannot wait for the day when Jesus ascends from heaven the same way he went.
Yeah I agree with you Aaron other that verse 8 there really was not much to this chapter.

Verse 8 is very good. Like Tanner said- let the Holy Spirit inside you and let all the power and grace of God work in you and speak the word to others who need to hear it! Holy Spirit guides and directs our holy walk.
