Having a personal encounter with the glorified Christ after He rose from the dead was an astounding, transformative experience. Would it be enough, though, to overcome the withering persecution which would soon follow?
How would you react if you saw and conversed with a man who fulfilled his promise to rise from the dead after three days?
It would transform you, as was the case with the more than 500 people who witnessed the glorious risen Christ.
Though filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, would you be able to withstand the hostility from powerful authorities who imprisoned, tortured, and even killed anyone who dared speak of what they had seen and heard?
As we travel back in time to first-century Jerusalem, discover how the early Christians were able to survive and then take the gospel to foreign lands in fulfillment of the Great Commission.
