Acts (author: Luke)

   The bible being a living entity, is like all things, cyclical in nature. It is the Words of God in a book. Hence the life, because He is Life. They are his words directly at times, and though we do not know his thoughts, we can see the logic of his thinking, as we look back with 20/20 hindsight. As with all life, there must be a beginning, and so the bible begins with its first book, Genesis. Moses is the author of this book, as he transcribes what God tells him about the beginnings of all, and the beginnings of civilization. Jesus' disciple John pens one of the gospels, as did Luke, the writer of Acts, but this John also wrote the book that tells of the ends, the Revelations of Jesus Christ. Hint; If the bible were to be a belt, Jesus would be the belt's buckle. 

  For those of you who have read this far, and are still not sure what I'm talking about, I apologize. Acts is a book in the bible. Why they call it Acts I don't know, but I think of it as an abbreviation for action. For in this book, we are formally introduced to the Holy Spirit, and in this book with its telling of the upper room scene, we see the first steps of the church that Jesus established. So back to the belt analogy, A belt unworn is flat and straight, but to make it round, cyclical, it must have a fastened belt. By buckling that belt, we tie the old to the new, Jesus is the centerpiece of this belt. The true triune nature of God becomes clear in Luke's short book. You see, without Jesus, the cycle, or the circle of life of the living bible makes no sense, and we that follow His teachings are wasting our time. Though the book of Acts is not physically in the center of the bible, being as a buckle it is. It ties what was before to what is, and what it is, to that which is to come, and so in my mind at least, the book of Acts is the center of the bible. The time that transpires between the beginning and the end is by far the longest, and it is still going on today, as Jesus promises after his death as he ascended into heaven, that he would one, leave himself as the Holy Spirit to teach us, and that two: He will come back, returning to the earth in glory, strength, and Power.
