About this episode
The episode explores the period after Jesus' resurrection and ascension, focusing on the establishment of the Church and its purpose.
Today we are going to join the disciples and other followers of Jesus in their moment of limbo. They were with Jesus for 3 years during his earthly ministry, they watched him crucified but then they saw him after his resurrection. Jesus was with them for 40 days after the resurrection, and then he left them again, ascended into Heaven. And he told them to wait. Now what? That’s not just their question—it’s ours. What do we do with the fact that Jesus has died for our sins, risen from the grave, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us? That is incredible news … but what comes next? In the book of Acts, Luke recorded that God established His Church as His means to accomplish His purpose of rescuing all nations.
