Bible Answer: Lk 24: 44. And He said unto them, These are my Words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, concerning me. [Remember Mt 5:1-20.] 45. Then opened He their mind, that they might understand the Scriptures [And, that has not changed. Read Ps 119; Mt 23:8-12; Jn 6:45.] 46. and He said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day 47. and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. [Read 1Pe 1.] 48. Ye are witnesses of these things. 49. And behold, I send forth the Promise of my Father upon you but tarry ye in the city until ye be clothed with Power from on High. Ac 1: 4. and, being assembled together with them, He charged them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the Promise of the Father, which, said He, ye heard from me. 5. For John indeed baptized with water but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence. [John the Baptist said the same Gospel Truth 4 times and Peter said it once as well in Ac 11 when he realized he had opposed God!] 8. But ye shall receive Power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the Earth. [Is this Power for all true Christians?] Ro 1: 16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; for it is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek (non-Jews). [How do we receive this Power of God? Paul told everyone in Ro 1:16-21 in plain language and he was expounding Scripture such as Mt 6:33 and Mk 1:14-15. We must seek first and find first in order to find the narrow Gate that leads to the narrow Road that few will find, Mt 7.] Use a concordance and study how the words "Believe", "Faith", "Gift", "Repent", "Righteousness", "Obey", "Power", "Promise" and their variations are used in the entire NT. |
