The Book of Acts begins with some wonderful events. The Holy Spirit baptizes Jesus’ followers on the Day of Pentecost. His work transitions from just dwelling in believers to filling them with power to radically change the world for Jesus. The Church is growing and people are being healed. Then, we find this challenging story about two believers who decide to lie to church leaders, but discover they really lied to the Holy Spirit. The consequences seem harsh, but it’s a confirmation to us that the Holy Spirit is God. We must treat Him with the honor and respect He deserves.
