📚 Historical Context
The Book of Acts serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke, written by the same author to detail the early church's formation and the expansion of Christianity. In Acts 1:2, it specifically describes the period after Jesus' resurrection, where He gave final instructions to His chosen apostles through the Holy Spirit before His ascension to heaven. This sets the stage for the apostles' role in continuing Jesus' work on earth.
