Peter is imitating Jesus and the works that Jesus did. There is a direct correlation between Peter, his works, and the works of Christ. And the same thing is true of Paul in chapters 13 through 28. He is mirroring Peter.

And so both of them are mirroring Christ, and that tells us something, and that is that we, as the members of the people of the book of Acts, we're doing the work of Christ like Peter and Paul did. So that's a little structural thing that I think is really important to get. But the basic structure of the book of Acts is that we have, first of all, in Jerusalem. It's a witness in Jerusalem.

And then after that, we have Judea and Samaria. Now, Jerusalem is Acts 1-1 through 8-3, and then 8-4 through 12-25 is Judea and Samaria. So that is on the outskirts of Jerusalem. And then in Acts 13 through 28, you have to the uttermost parts of the earth. You have the entire world there.

So you mentioned explosion earlier, and that is that it starts in Jerusalem and boom, it just explodes into Judea and Samaria, places we wouldn't normally go. And people we don't really know, and then to the uttermost parts of the earth. And the fact... that people are listening to you and me right now means it worked. Because you and I are in the uttermost parts of the earth.

And that's something that Paul really understood that too, just exactly what you're saying, because it was in the second phase of this explosion in chapters 8, 4 through 12, 25, that this great scholar, Saul of Tarsus, was brought into the kingdom by the Holy Spirit, and he became a super apostle.

And then in the third part of the explosion, Paul has three missionary journeys, which are covered in the book of Acts. And every one of those journeys, he goes out first and he, what does he do? He establishes churches. And then in the second and third, he's establishing, but he's going back and he's nurturing the churches that he started.

And one of the things that people will find when they read the epistles of Paul, which Paul wrote more books, Luke has more territory in his writing. But when you read those epistles, Father, you're going to, as you know, see that that early church did experience the power of the Holy Spirit and the expansion of the church, but they also had problems.
