Acts 1:2

until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

1. Until - Jesus did not stop teaching at this death. Following his resurrection he taught the apostles and disciples many things about the coming kingdom.

2. He was taken up in a cloud, into heaven itself and is now at the right hand of God.

3. Before his ascension he gave some specific commands to the apostles. We call it the Great Commission. This command includes commands for the apostles and for those whom they teach.

1. The apostles were to go into all the world, teach and preach to every creature in every nation. They were to share the gospel (good news) of the life, death and resurrection of Christ.

2. Those who heard the message were to believe and obey the commands of Jesus in faith, repentance and baptism.
