Hindrances To Pentecost (Part 3) (Ac. 1:4-2:13)

THERE IS THE HINDRANCE OF PROPHECY (1:6-8).

The apostles wanted to know if it was the end time. Jesus preempted the question and basically told them, “Don't worry about that time; be concerned about this time.” In other words, “Keep your eyes on what I'm doing today, not just on what I will do at some point in the future.”

How divisive and distracting prophecy can become! While prophecy is filled with hope, what will happen in the last days should not distract us from pursuing what Jesus is doing in this day.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with prophecy itself. Titus 2:13 says that we are to be looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.”
