The Lost Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles

Okay, kiddo, let me tell you a story about a book that was lost a long time ago. This book was called “The Acts of the Apostles.” It was about all the adventures and travels of Jesus’ friends after he went back to heaven. They went around telling people about him and doing good things.

But there was a chapter in the book that went missing. No one knows exactly why or how it disappeared, but people have been looking for it for a very long time. It’s like trying to find a puzzle piece that’s been lost!

Some people have come up with ideas about what might have been in the lost chapter. Maybe it had stories about people who became followers of Jesus and miracles that happened. Or maybe it had information about how the apostles organized their church and what they believed.

Even though we don’t have that chapter anymore, we still have the rest of the book. And that’s pretty cool! We can still learn a lot from what was written down all those years ago about how Jesus’ friends spread the good news and helped others.
