Commentary on Acts 1:4
Jesus' command to wait for the Spirit reveals the essential relationship between promise and power in Christian ministry. The Greek 'perimenein' (wait for) suggests active expectation rather than passive delay. This establishes that effective witness requires divine empowerment beyond human ability, a theme central to Acts' narrative of Spirit-empowered mission.
