Acts 1 Infographic The Mission Ignites

Acts 1 unfolds as a divine symphony, and this infographic captures its harmony—bridging the Great Commission’s mission and Prophecy Fulfilled’s OT-NT connections in one sweeping view. Orange arrows in the center column trace God’s ancient promises—like Jeremiah 31:31-34’s new covenant and Joel 2:28-32’s Spirit outpouring—to their fulfillment in Jesus’s actions (Acts 1:4-5, 1:8), igniting the church’s global call. Yet, this mission sparks tension: apostles expecting Israel’s throne (1:6) clash with a broader vision, while Jewish leaders resist a non-reigning Messiah (Acts 3:19-21).

The right column, with red arrows, narrates Acts 1’s story in three acts: Jesus teaches and promises the Spirit (1:1-5), ascends to rule (1:9-11) as Daniel 7:13-14 foretold, and the disciples restore the Twelve with Matthias (1:23-26), fulfilling Psalm 109:8. Each step steadies the church amid chaos—Judas’s betrayal, early doubts—for an unstoppable mission.

This infographic unveils the Bible as one story: OT hope meets NT reality, turning mess into meaning. Jesus’s victory empowers you—His call to witness (1:8) is your call, part of God’s eternal plan. From Spirit promise to global reach, Acts 1 is your foundation—God’s faithful, sending you into His story.
