The First Acts

Jesus selected his disciples after returning from the wilderness on a forty-day fast.  John the Baptist declares ‘Jesus the Lamb of God’ and gives witness to the fact of the disciples and the establishment.  John’s disciples go after Jesus because they too are looking for the coming of the Messiah. John’s ministry begins to decline because his purpose is complete by making a way, proclaiming a new gospel of repentance, and believing in the Son of God in order to believe in the fullness of God.  The first acts are now; when Jesus turns the water (in the vessels used for purification) into wine for the wedding supper feast.
