"Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission
of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things
(Lu. 24:46-49). These are the words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ
to His first disciples after His resurrection from the dead.
Prior to His ascension He promised: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
"The faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3) was born on the day of Pentecost with the message of the apostle Peter under the anointing and the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:14-47). It was to this apostle that the Lord Jesus Christ promised to give the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Mat. 16:15-19).
