the gospel. Good. But “my” gospel is about personal (i.e., individual) salvation. Acts tells of the spread of the gospel. Luke begins with the disciples asking the risen Jesus, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6). He ends Acts by describing Paul: “He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!” (Acts 28:31).
