Power with a Purpose

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” (Acts 1:8) That word translated power appears 88 times in the New Testament. In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the word is δυναμιν (dunameen) from which we get our word dynamite. As he is departing his congregation, Pastor Jesus promises he will leave them with some dynamite: the power of the Holy Spirit.
