The Jerusalem church’s appointment of seven servants to care for widows is a pivotal event in the spread of Christ’s gospel after the Holy Spirit’s descent at Pentecost.

The first theme is “multiplication”: Our Lord delights in gathering huge crowds to experience his grace and celebrate his glory.
