HISTORICAL REVIEW, 1:1-26
I. INTRODUCTION, 1:1-3
1. To which "former treatise" does the writer make reference in 1:1? To
the gospel of Luke (Luke 1:3).
2. Who is the Theophilus in Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1? A man of high rank in
the Roman world, but of whom nothing is known other than that he was a
friend of Luke.
3. What does Luke do in 1:2-11? He reviews the events following the
Lord's resurrection over a period of forty days during which the Lord
showed himself at different times and places and in various forms,
Mark 16:12; Luke 24:13-32, by "many infallible proofs?'
4. Wherein were these proofs "infallible," 1:3? In that his resurrection
was incontrovertibly attested by the perception of their natural
faculties of hearing, John 20:14-16; sight, John 20:20; and touch, John
20:26-28.
5. To what purpose were these "many infallible proofs," 1:3? To leave no
doubt whatsoever in the minds of the disciples inasmuch as the
resurrection of Christ was of crucial importance to the Christian faith
and would be fiercely challenged by the Lord's enemies.
II. THE APOSTOLIC COMMISSION, 1:4-11
1. What is evident from 1:4-8? That the apostolic commission could not be
carried out without the fulness of the Spirit.
2. What does Jesus do in 1:8? He points out:
(1) The dynamic of the Great Commission.
(2) The personnel of the Great Commission.
(3) The method of the Great Commission.
(4) The geography of the Great Commission.
3. Finally the disciples are assured of what, 1:9-11? The literal and
visible return of the Lord.
III. WAITING FOR THE SPIRIT, 1:12-26
1. What characterized the prayer meeting in 1:12-14? Unanimity,
perseverance, petition, and earnestness.
2. What takes place in 1:15-26. The mistaken election of Matthias under
the leadership of Peter.
3. Wherein do the following scriptures evidence Peter's mistake in this
respect?
(1) Acts 9:1-20 - In that Christ made his own selection of a twelfth
apostle.
(2) I Cor. 9:1-2 - In that the Corinthians rejected Paul's apostleship,
probably because of the election of Matthias.
(3) II Cor. 12:11-12 - In that Paul found it necessary to defend his
apostleship by calling attention to his credentials.
(4) Gal. 1:1 - In that Paul found it necessary to affirm his apostolic
authority when writing to the Galatians.
(5) Gal 1:1 - In that Paul alluded to someone (probably Matthias) whose
pseudo-apostolic appointment came of men and by men, i.e.
authorized and implemented by men instead of by Jesus Christ.
(6) Rev. 21:14 - In that the name of Paul would be missing from the
foundations of the New Jerusalem if Matthias were indeed the
twelfth apostle which is an inadmissible conclusion.
