After the sufferings of his cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period.
Jesus proved to them with many convincing signs that he had been resurrected. During these encounters, he taught them the truths of God's kingdom realm
Acts 1:3 TPT

Where preparing for what God has next is where He has you.

Let it change us.
