Acts 1

Though Acts has two chapters separating it from Mark, the first chapter begins right where mark left off.  Jesus is with His disciples and He promises the Holy Spirit.  They then went with the Lord and watched as He ascended into heaven.  What is interesting is that the next thing they do after then return to Jerusalem is to replace Judas.  The disciples were still the 12, but the company of men was about 120.  How important could it be to find one guy to replay Judas?  Obviously if Jesus had chosen twelve, so would the disciples.  Perhaps for the twelve tribes of Israel?  Did the disciples maybe think this?  This is the beginning of the disciples real ministry.  Jesus walked, taught, and healed in their presents.  Now it is their turn.
