The rest of the story from Acts 1:8 explains that Christ-followers have a mission while here on earth. They are to be Christโs witnesses all over this planet. Itโs as if Christ said, โThink youโre missing the book smarts, the street smarts, the looks, the talent, or the speaking ability to accomplish this mission? Donโt be concerned with those things, because you have my mountain-moving, life-transforming, death-defying power on your side.โ

Instead, they tolerate each other, they accommodate each other, and they settle for sitting on the unspoken matters that separate them.
