Word of the Day - 1/1/2009

Egression

Egression is a going out; egress.

Shortly before his Ascension, Jesus outlined the egression of the early Christian movement.

"but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." (Acts 1:8, NASB)

Acts 1:8 serves as the book's internal outline.

Note: This oil on panel of the Ascenion of Christ was painted by Garofalo (1481-1559). It resides in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome.
