Witnesses of the Resurrection (Acts 1:15-26)
With Christianity, the doctrinal foundations, the testimony to the baptism, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, Son of God, are testified to by 12 authentic witnesses, who themselves are testified to by at least 120 other witnesses. When a person considers the way of life initiated by the resurrected Jesus, they find an attested, reliable, verified,…
Commissioned by the Resurrected King (Acts 1:1-14)
The risen Jesus installed his disciples as witnesses of his Kingdom, as seen through his word and work, in order to send them to the very ends of the earth. In our own day, the risen Jesus continues to install all disciples as witnesses of his Kingdom, sent to the very ends of the earth. All…

To “see” the resurrection is to “tell” of the good news of the resurrection. And Luke’s narrative guides us to be people who respond to the resurrection by “Going into all the world and proclaiming the gospel to the whole creation.” Luke 19:41-42 And when he drew near and saw the city, he…
