Acts 1: Infographic

The Acts 1 infographic reveals God’s plan connecting the Old Testament promises—like Jeremiah’s new covenant—to Jesus’s actions, shown by orange arrows in the middle column. The right column traces the church’s start with red arrows: Jesus teaches and promises the Spirit, ascends to rule, and the disciples choose Matthias to replace Judas. This shows your faith is part of a story God’s been writing forever.

Before the church begins, Jesus prepares his followers, teaching them after rising and promising the Spirit—red arrows link this groundwork. His ascension isn’t a goodbye; it’s him taking charge, tied to Daniel’s vision, giving us a mission to share. Then, Matthias’s selection, linked to Psalms, proves God fixes what’s broken, readying the team.

Waiting is key here—orange arrows from Joel and red ones on the right point to the Spirit’s coming. The Bible comes alive as one story, connecting old promises to Acts 1’s steps. It turns chaos into meaning—Jesus builds the church from a mess, and his call to be witnesses is your job too. This infographic flows from promises to action, offering hope: Jesus won, left power, and keeps it going.

For believers, Acts 1 is your start—God’s faithful, preparing you, sending you, and promising more.
