During the period of time between the wave sheaf offering and the Day of Pentecost, Jesus Christ appeared multiple times to His followers in order to impart very specific lessons. The disciples were in shock, they were grieving, and they were dealing with the struggle between what they understood and what they had seen with their own eyes. Christ, as He continued to expound on and preach the Kingdom of God during these days, took the time and effort to ensure that the stage was set for what would come on the Day of Pentecost, and going forward from that Day as He built His Church. What were these lessons? How does the receipt of God's spirit enable these lessons to take place?
