Still, I think this is exciting.
In my judgement, Luke-Acts is about the fulfilment of the plan that God had all along, to bring blessing to the whole earth through Jesus. (Luke 2:32 (citing Isaiah 42:6) Luke 3:6 (citing Isaiah 51:10 and Psalm 98:2-3), Luke 24:46-8, Acts 1:8, 10:15) Luke-Acts is designed to show that the missionary work in Acts is valid. Huzzah! I've not believed in vain.
But a sub-theme to this is the irony that many of the Jews actually end up standing in God's way and trying to thwart His purposes. Stephen's speech in Acts 7 shows that this, too, is what had been happening all along, throughout the history of Israel. In reality, a number of Jews resisting God's plans is business as usual.
Note well, then, that 90% of the trouble that Paul gets into in his missionary journeys is instigated and funded by the Jews, not the gentiles. Luke uses the word jealousy to describe their motivation. (Acts 17:5)
The message? Summed up in a man who may well have been speaking even better than he knew: Paul's old Pharisee mentor, Gamaliel.
"If this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!"
Let us make sure that we're never being jealous people who think that we have the inside running with God. Let us make sure we're not smugly sniping or actively hindering anyone from hearing the gospel. Especially, let's not attack a member of Christ out of jealousy.
It's just possible that we may be found to be opposing God.
