GOOD NEWS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

For 40 days after Jesus had suffered and died, he appeared to his apostles and spoke to them about God's kingdom.
He told them:
"The Scriptures say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem, you must tell everything that has happened. Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power.
Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world."
