What! No Amen?

Has anyone ever noticed that the book of Acts is the only New Testament book that does'nt end with an Amen? Does anyone know or have an opinion of why this is?

Because the book of Acts was written about the formation ofChrists'church , and the spreading of the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. That is still our commandment today, to establish God's Church ( the bride of Christ ) , and to spread Christs' message of love and redemption, and since it is still on-going, then that book is not finished being written, and it will not be finished until Christs return. Then it will end with Amen....

I agree, and it's really exciting when you think about it. . . . .Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
