    The document discusses Jesus' great commission in Matthew 28, where he gave his followers authority to change the world through prayer, action, words, and embodying the life of Jesus. It references John 1:14 about Jesus becoming flesh and dwelling among humanity. The followers were told to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Holy Spirit, which was fulfilled at Pentecost. Receiving the Holy Spirit's power would allow them to be witnesses of Jesus and perform miracles through supernatural means, as they spread his message to ever-increasing circles.
