Most look at this passage of scripture and like to point out a connection between
— [Holy Spirit] v 6
— [Spirit of Jesus] v 7
— [God] v 10.
It’s definitely there, all three are present in guiding the movements of Paul and his companions; all three Persons of the Trinity working to spread the gospel according to their shared designs and plans.
This is not just conceptual work. It is actual work specifically carried out in specific places in the world: Phrygia, Galatia, Bithynia, Troas, Macedonia. That is the real story of the book of Acts—the work of Jesus, Son of and sent by the Father, continues in the world through the Holy Spirit. If Jesus tarries for another thousand years, the Father will have been just as gracious as if he had come a thousand years ago because the the Holy Spirit is presently and has always been carrying out the work of Christ in the world.
So what is He doing?
Right now while your are on your phone reading this, the Holy Trinity is working through regular folk just like you. Look at how this passage with all its references to the Trinity begins and ends with [preaching]. At first Paul is prevented from [preaching the word] in Asia by the Spirit, and prevented from preaching in Mysia by the Spirit of Jesus, until he is called to [preach the gospel] in Macedonia by God. The work of the Trinity in the world is to announce the gospel and the proclaim word of God through those willing to declare it… and to those willing to hear it.
For reasons known only to God. The gospel was prevented from being brought to the people of Mysia and Asia (at that time). Paul instead preaches the gospel to Macedonia for reasons that are clear. He is given a vision of a [man] calling for him to come to Macedonia and help. God is clearly the conductor orchestrating these events, and clearly Paul and his companions and the [man] of Macedonia are the instruments He is playing in a symphony of hearts brought to repentance and faith, praising His glorious and continuous presence in our world.
