To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many INFALLIBLE PROOFS, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3, KJV)
Acts is part two of Luke’s book on the life and ministry of Jesus. He continues by reporting to Theophilus (whose name means: “One who exists in the love of God”) the act(ion)s of the apostles after Christ returned to His Father in Heaven. However, before Christ could send them out he had to show them infallible proof that He had indeed risen from the dead.
The word infallible can be defined using the acronym “R.I.D.”. Infallible means “Reliable, Impeccable, and Dependable”. In order for Christ to convince his followers of his reality, he provided for them proof that was reliable, impeccable, and dependable. In other words, Jesus provided his followers with proof that would R.I.D them of their doubts.
PRAYER: Lord, “…Show yourself alive…by many infallible proofs,” (that are able to be seen by others)… in Your Name we believe it is accomplished!
