We are sent to give God glory. Glory simply means, “dignity, honor, praise, and worship”. To glorify God is to rehearse over and over God’s characteristics such as His faithfulness, mercy, love, power, holiness, and grace. We rehearse them in our minds and tell others about them. We witness to the realities of Jesus, both in word and deed; this brings great glory to our God. Our text contains the last words of Luke’s writing. It ends abruptly leaving us with the implication that the proclamation of the gospel in the first century began a story that will continue until Christ comes again. Paul has suffered much and had great success since his conversion recorded in Acts 9. He has traveled thousands of miles in the ancient world proclaiming Jesus to Gentiles and Jews. Paul sets a great example for us in glorifying God.
