From Jesus to the Church

After Jesus’ resurrection he appeared many times to his disciples but the last time he met with them was on a mountain near Galilee. Jesus Said to his disciples
… “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Mt 2818-20)
Jesus then left to be with his Father in heaven and the disciples waited for the gift Father God had promised. (Acts 1:1-5)

When the time of Pentecost (the 50th day after the Sabbath of Passover week) came the disciples were all together ‘…Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting…All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues as the Spirit enabled them…’ (Acts 2). Now, there were many God-fearing Jews from many different places staying in Jerusalem at this time who were amazed at what they were seeing as the Spirit came and although many were confused Peter, the disciple, told them all about Jesus and what God had promised to them. It says about 3000 people accepted the message were baptised that day.
After the day of Pentecost they all met together everyday in the temple courts to teach and learn from each other about Jesus and share together in breaking bread to remember what Jesus had done for them, and they also devoted themselves to prayer.This was the start of the Christian church.
