Lesson 81: Acts 1:1–8
Introduction
After His Resurrection, Jesus Christ ministered to
His Apostles for 40 days. He prepared them to be witnesses of Him throughout
the earth.
I.
Acts 1:1–8
Jesus ministers to His disciples for 40 days
---Invite students to imagine that a
friend of another faith approaches them with a desire to know more about our
Church and asks, “Who leads your church?”
---Ask students to write how they
would respond to this question in their class notebooks or scripture study
journals.
---Look for a truth as we study Acts 1:1–8 that can help answer the question of
who leads the Church.
---Invite students to turn to the
book of Acts and identify the full title of this book. Ask students to report
what they find.
- Based on the full title, what do you think we can learn about in this book?
---The book of Acts marks a
significant transition in the New Testament. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John provide accounts of the Savior’s mortal ministry, including His
Atonement and Resurrection. The book of Acts relates the Apostles’ ministry
following the Savior’s Ascension into heaven.
---Read Acts 1:1–2 aloud. Ask the class to follow along,
looking for whom this book was written to.
- To whom was the book of Acts written?
---Luke is the author of the book of
Acts and that the “former treatise” referred to in verse 1 is the book of Luke, which was also
written to Theophilus. Luke’s purpose in writing was to help Theophilus obtain
his own testimony of Jesus Christ (see Luke 1:1–4).
---Read Acts 1:2–4 aloud. Ask the class to follow along,
looking for how long Jesus Christ personally ministered to His Apostles
following His Resurrection. (You may want to explain that in verse 3, “passion” refers to the Savior’s
atoning sacrifice, and “infallible proofs” refers to the undeniable evidence
Jesus provided that He was resurrected.)
- How long did Jesus Christ spend with His Apostles after He was resurrected?
- What did Jesus teach them during these 40 days? (Things pertaining to the kingdom of God.)
---Begin sketching a simple line
drawing of a house on the board. (Or you could build a small model of a house
using blocks or clay.)
---When you are halfway finished,
invite a student to come to the board and finish the drawing for you. Give the
student very specific instructions on how to finish the house. You might ask
him or her to add a roof, some windows, and landscaping. After a short time of
working together, move to the other side of the classroom and continue to give
the student instructions. When the house is finished, thank the student, and
ask him or her to sit down.
---Ask students to imagine that the
drawing of the house represents the kingdom of God on earth, which is the
Church of Jesus Christ.
- How might our method of drawing this house illustrate how Jesus Christ established His Church during His mortal ministry and after His Resurrection? (During His mortal ministry, the Savior began establishing His Church. He called others to help Him establish it, and after His Resurrection, He directed their efforts even though He was no longer physically with them.)
- According to verse 2, how does Jesus Christ direct His Church? (Using students’ words, write the following truth on the board: Jesus Christ directs His Church by revealing His will to His Apostles through the Holy Ghost.)
---Ask a student to read aloud the
following statement by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the
Twelve Apostles:
“From the first verse [of the book of Acts], the declaration
is that the Church will continue to be divinely led, not mortally led. …
Indeed, a more complete title for the book of Acts could appropriately be
something like ‘The Acts of the Resurrected Christ Working through the Holy
Spirit in the Lives and Ministries of His Ordained Apostles.’ …
“The direction of the Church is the same. The location of
the Savior has been altered, but the direction and leadership of the Church is
exactly the same” (“Therefore, What?” [Church Educational System
conference on the New Testament, Aug. 8, 2000], 6, si.lds.org).
- Why is it important to know that Jesus Christ continues to direct His Church by revelation today?
---Invite students to ponder
experiences that have strengthened their testimony that Jesus Christ directs
His Church today through revelation. Invite several students to share their
experiences. You may also want to share an experience.
---Take turns reading aloud from Acts 1:4–8. Ask the class to follow along,
looking for what Jesus commanded the Apostles to do.
- According to verse 4, what did Jesus command the Apostles to do?
- According to verse 5, what did the Savior promise the Apostles that they would receive if they remained in Jerusalem?
- According to verse 8, what would the Holy Ghost give the Apostles power to do?
- What can we learn about Apostles from what the Savior taught in verse 8? (Students may use different words, but make sure they identify the following truth: Apostles are witnesses of Jesus Christ and testify of Him throughout the earth.)
---To help students understand this
truth, ask a student to read aloud the following statement by President
Gordon B. Hinckley:
“In our day the Lord has called 15 special witnesses to
testify of His divinity before all the world. Theirs is a unique calling; they
are Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, chosen and commissioned by Him. They
have been commanded to bear witness of His living reality by the power and
authority of the holy apostleship in them vested” (“Special Witnesses of Christ,” Ensign, Apr.
2001, 4).
Write the following incomplete
statement on the board: The Apostles of our day testify that
Jesus Christ …
---If possible, provide a copy of “The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles”
(Ensign, Apr. 2000, 2) for each student in your class. You may also
consider taking one copy, cutting it into smaller sections, and dividing the
sections among students. Ask students to read the document or section silently,
looking for how they could finish the statement on the board. When students
have finished reading, ask a student to come to the board and act as a scribe.
Invite students to report what they found, and ask the student at the board to
list their responses on the board.
- Which of these declarations are most significant to you?
- How does the witness of modern-day Apostles influence your personal witness or testimony of Jesus Christ?
---Even though Acts 1:8 refers specifically to the Apostles’
role as special witnesses of the Savior, it also teaches us about what can help
us be witnesses of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
- Based on the Lord’s promise to the Apostles in Acts 1:8, what makes it possible for us to be witnesses of Jesus Christ? (Students may use different words, but make sure they identify the following truth: Through the power of the Holy Ghost, we can become witnesses of Jesus Christ.)
- In what ways does the Holy Ghost help us become witnesses of the Savior?
---Invite students to ponder times
they have felt the Holy Ghost as others have shared their testimony of Jesus
Christ. After a few minutes, invite students to share their experiences. Remind
students that they should not share experiences that are too sacred or private.
- When have you felt the Holy Ghost help you testify of Jesus Christ to others?
---Encourage students to seek
opportunities to share their testimony with others and trust that the Holy
Ghost will confirm the truth of what they witness.
II.
Acts–Revelation Overview of the
second half of the New Testament
---Acts 1:8 not only teaches truths but also
provides an overview of the latter half of the New Testament.
- According to Acts 1:8, where did the Savior prophesy that His disciples would witness of Him?
---Write the following on the board:
Acts 1–5 = Jerusalem; Acts 6–9 = Judea and Samaria; Acts 10–28 = Uttermost part of the earth (see Bible Dictionary, “Acts of the Apostles”).
---The disciples began to witness of
Jesus Christ as directed. First, the Apostles preached in Jerusalem, then Judea
and Samaria, and then the uttermost parts of the earth.
---Ask students to turn to the
Bible’s table of contents. Invite students to look at the New Testament books
that follow the book of Acts. Explain that the books of Romans through Hebrews
are epistles (letters) written by the Apostle Paul. Students will learn about
Paul’s conversion and ministry as they study Acts 9, 13–28.
---Ask students to locate 1 Thessalonians. Explain that the
Thessalonians were people who lived in the city Thessalonica. Invite students
to turn to Bible Maps, no. 13, “The Missionary Journeys of the Apostle Paul,”
and locate Thessalonica on the map. Explain that many of the epistles in the
New Testament were written to congregations of the Church in different cities
to address their specific needs. You may also want to explain that these
epistles are not arranged chronologically in the New Testament. The book of 1 Thessalonians is believed to be the first
epistle Paul wrote.
---Ask students to look at the table
of contents and identify some other books that are written as epistles to
congregations of Saints.
---In addition to writing to
congregations of Saints, Paul wrote to individuals such as Timothy, Titus, and
Philemon.
---Ask students to look for what
books follow Hebrews in the table of contents.
---In addition to Paul, other Apostles
and Church leaders wrote to members of the Church. We still have some of these
epistles, which are the books of James through Jude. The book of Revelation
records a vision seen by the Apostle John.
---Invite students to continue
reading the second half of the New Testament on their own. Encourage them to
pray as they study so that the Holy Ghost can enlighten them and help them gain
greater understanding as they study the teachings of the New Testament
Apostles.
Commentary
and Background Information
Acts
of the Apostles. An overview
Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said the following about the book of Acts:
“Acts shows forth the operation of
the Holy Spirit in the true Church.
“Among Biblical books it ranks first
in telling how the Church and kingdom of God on earth operates when Jesus the
King is not personally resident on planet earth. …
“Acts tells how the spiritual gifts
multiplied until they were enjoyed by the apostles and by whole congregations
of the faithful. …
“… Acts recounts the facts
relative to church organization, missionary journeys, and the general spread of
truth in a pagan world. It tells of the persecutions, stonings, trials, and
impositions heaped upon those who center their hearts on Christ and strive to
overcome the world. …
“But Acts is more than a book of
spiritual superlatives; it is also an account of righteous men and their
weaknesses and bickerings, their jealousies and foibles, their failures and
successes.
“The meridian saints are not
perfect. Paul contends with Silas, corrects Peter, and rejects Mark as a
missionary companion. …
“Thus Acts is a book for weak
mortals. It shows the spiritual heights they can ascend – imperfect, jealous,
and stubborn though they may be. …
“Acts does in reality record how the
Holy Spirit operates in the true Church; it is indeed the book which tells how
God directs his earthly kingdom” (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary,
3 vols. [1965–73], 2:19–20).
Acts
1:2. Jesus Christ directs His Church
President Gordon B. Hinckley
testified that the Lord directs His Church—The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints:
“Let it be understood by all that
Jesus Christ stands at the head of this church which bears His sacred name. He
is watching over it. He is guiding it. Standing at the right hand of His
Father, He directs this work” (“God Is at the Helm,” Ensign, May 1994, 59).
Acts
1:4–8. Waiting for the promise of the Holy
Ghost
The promise of the Holy Ghost that
the Lord extended to the Apostles as recorded in Acts 1:4–8 may seem confusing in light of John 20:22, which says that Jesus “breathed on
[the Apostles], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” Elder
Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained that
“Jesus ‘breathed on them,’ which probably means that he laid his hands upon
them as he uttered the decree: ‘Receive … the Holy Ghost’” (Doctrinal New
Testament Commentary, 3 vols. [1965–73], 1:857).
Elder McConkie used the Apostles’
experience to illustrate that there is a difference between the bestowal of the
gift of the Holy Ghost and actually enjoying that gift:
“They thus received, but did not at
that moment actually enjoy, the gift of the Holy Ghost. … The gift of the Holy
Ghost is the right, based on faithfulness, to receive the constant
companionship of this member of the Godhead; and this gift is conferred by the
laying on of hands following baptism.
This gift offers certain blessings provided there is full compliance with the
law involved; everyone upon whom the gift is bestowed does not in fact enjoy or
possess the offered gift. In the case of the apostles the actual enjoyment of
the gift was delayed until the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2.)” (Doctrinal New Testament
Commentary, 1:857).
Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained why the Apostles were told to wait for
the companionship of the Holy Ghost before they fulfilled their commission to
testify of Jesus Christ throughout the earth:
“An eyewitness was not enough. Even
the witness and testimony of the original Apostles had to be rooted in the
testimony of the Holy Ghost. [President Joseph Fielding Smith] has told us that
the witness of the Holy Ghost makes an impression on our soul that is more
significant than ‘a visitation of an angel.’ (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines
of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954,
1:44.) And the Bible shows that when we testify on the basis of
this witness, the Holy Ghost testifies to those who hear our words” (“Witnesses of Christ,” Ensign, Nov.
1990, 30).
Supplemental
Teaching Idea

Encourage
students to read the text for the course
Encourage students to read the
entire New Testament. Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles said, “Reading a book of scripture from beginning to end …
[introduces] us to important stories, gospel doctrines, and timeless principles
[and] enables us to learn about major characters … and the sequence, timing,
and context of events and teachings” (“A Reservoir of Living Water” [Church Educational
System fireside for young adults, Feb. 4, 2007], 2, lds.org/broadcasts).
Lesson 82: Acts 1:9–26
Introduction
After instructing His disciples for
40 days, Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. The Apostles
and others united in prayer and supplication. Through inspiration, Matthias was
called to fill the vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles left by the
betrayal and death of Judas Iscariot.
I.
Acts 1:9–12
The Savior ascends into heaven
--Write the following question on
the board: True or False?
---Read aloud the following
statements about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Invite students to indicate
whether the statements are true or false. (Note: At this point in the lesson,
students do not need to know the answer to each question or spend a great deal
of time discussing their answers.)
- Jesus Christ will return to the earth in the latter days.
- At His Second Coming, Jesus Christ will appear only to righteous people.
- Because Jesus Christ will be in disguise when He comes again, most people will not realize that the Second Coming has occurred.
---You may want to briefly review
the answer to each statement: (1) True (see Moses 7:60); (2) False (see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:26; D&C 101:23); (3) False (see D&C 49:22–23).
---During His mortal ministry, Jesus
Christ prophesied that in the last days some people would promote false
teachings about His Second Coming (see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:22–25).
- How can we know whether a particular teaching about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is true or false? (If we heed the Savior’s words and the words of His prophets, we can avoid being deceived [see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:37].)
---Look as we continue to study Acts 1 for an important truth concerning the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
---Remind students that the Savior
instructed His disciples for 40 days after His Resurrection
(see Acts 1:3). Display the picture The Ascension (Gospel Art Book [2009],
no. 62; see also LDS.org).
---Read Acts 1:9–12 aloud. Ask the class to follow along,
looking for what happened after the Savior finished instructing His Apostles.
- What happened after the Savior finished instructing His Apostles?
- If you had seen the Savior ascend into heaven, what thoughts and feelings do you think you might have had?
---In ancient Israel a cloud
sometimes served as a visible representation of the presence and glory of God
(see Exodus 40:34). The cloud mentioned in Acts 1:9 was a cloud of glory (see Bible
Dictionary, “Cloud”), and the two men mentioned in verse 10 were angels.
- What did the angels tell the Apostles?
- What do you think it means that Jesus will come again “in like manner” (Acts 1:11) as He ascended? (After students respond, write the following truth on the board: At His Second Coming, the Savior will descend from heaven in glory.)
---Point out that the Savior’s
Ascension took place on the Mount of Olives (see verse 12). Explain that when the Savior
comes again, one of His appearances will be when He will descend and actually
stand on the Mount of Olives (see Zechariah 14:4; D&C 45:47–53; D&C 133:19–20). This will be before His great
and grand appearance to the world (see Isaiah 40:5).
- How can knowing the manner in which the Savior will return help us avoid being deceived while we await His Second Coming?
II.
Acts 1:13–26
Matthias is chosen to fill the vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles
---After the Apostles returned to
Jerusalem, they gathered with some faithful men and women, including Mary the
mother of Jesus, to pray and worship. Invite students to read Acts 1:13 silently and count the number of
Apostles listed. Ask students to report what they find.
- Why were there only 11 Apostles at that time? (Judas Iscariot had betrayed Jesus Christ and then ended his own life [see Matthew 27:3–5].)
---In Acts 1:15–20 Peter stood before 120 disciples and recounted
the death of Judas Iscariot. Because Judas had been one of the Twelve Apostles,
the disciples gathered to choose a new Apostle.
---Invite students to describe the
different ways in which some of the following leaders are chosen: a team
captain, a local government leader, a king or queen, and a president of a
company.
- What might some of the qualifications for these leadership positions be?
---Show students a picture or pictures
of the current First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and testify
that each of these men is an Apostle of Jesus Christ. Ask students to consider
how an Apostle of Jesus Christ is chosen and what qualifies someone to serve as
an Apostle.
---Divide students into pairs.
Invite them to read Acts 1:21–26 aloud with their partners and look
for how a new Apostle was chosen after the death of Judas Iscariot.
- What does it mean that “they gave forth their lots”? (verse 26).
---You may need to explain that
anciently, casting lots was a faithful means of making a decision that showed
trust in God directing the outcome (see Acts 1:26; see also Proverbs 16:33). “If they cast lots, it was an
instance in which the Lord chose the result. More probably, however, ‘they gave
forth their votes,’ presumably ‘sustaining votes’ to uphold him whom God had
chosen to serve in the holy apostleship” (Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New
Testament Commentary, 3 vols. [1965–73], 2:32).
- According to verses 21–22, what qualifications did Peter say the new Apostle must have? (He must be a follower of Jesus Christ who was also a witness of His ministry and Resurrection.)
- What stands out to you about the Apostles’ prayer recorded in verses 24–25?
- What truth can we learn from verse 24 about how an Apostle of Jesus Christ is called? (Students may use different words, but make sure to emphasize that Apostles of Jesus Christ are called by God through revelation. Write this truth on the board, and invite students to consider writing it in their scriptures next to verse 24.)
- Why do you think it is important that an Apostle is called by God through revelation instead of being selected in a way similar to other leaders in the world?
---To illustrate how a modern
Apostle is called by God through revelation, invite a student to read aloud the
following account from the life of President Heber J. Grant:
“President [Heber J.] Grant received revelations as
President of the Church to guide the Church as a whole. One such revelation
came just after he was set apart as President of the Church, when he sought the
will of the Lord in appointing a new member of the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles. As he pondered this responsibility, his thoughts turned repeatedly to
his lifelong friend Richard W. Young, a faithful Latter-day Saint and a
proven leader. President Grant discussed this possibility with his counselors,
who supported his decision. When he finally felt confident with this course of
action, he wrote his friend’s name on a piece of paper and took the paper with
him to the weekly temple meeting with the First Presidency and the Quorum of
the Twelve. However, when he was about to present the name for the approval of
his Brethren, he was unable to do so. Instead of presenting the name of
Richard W. Young, he presented the name of Melvin J. Ballard, a man
whom he hardly knew. President Grant later told of the impact this experience
had on him:
“‘I have felt the inspiration of the living God directing me
in my labors. From the day that I chose a comparative stranger to be one of the
apostles, instead of my lifelong and dearest living friend, I have known as I
know that I live, that I am entitled to the light and the inspiration and the
guidance of God in directing His work here upon this earth’” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J.
Grant [2002], 181–82).
- How is the truth taught in Acts 1:24 illustrated in this account describing the calling of a modern-day Apostle?
- How does the calling of an Apostle show that the Savior continues to direct His Church? (You may want to remind students of the truth taught in Acts 1:2—that Jesus Christ directs His Church by revealing His will to His Apostles through the Holy Ghost.)
---Refer to the picture or pictures
you displayed earlier of the living Apostles. You may want to take a moment to
help students learn or review their names.
---Write the following questions on
the board:
What experiences have helped you
come to know that the living Apostles have been called by God?
Why is it important to you to have a
testimony that the living Apostles have been called by God?
---Invite students to write a
response to one of the questions in their class notebooks or scripture study
journals. Invite a few students to share their responses with the class.
---Conclude by testifying of the
truths students identified in Acts 1:9–26.
Scripture Mastery Review
To help students review the first 10
scripture mastery passages, write the following references and corresponding
key words on the board (if you prefer, you can provide students with copies of
the chart):
|
Let your light so shine.
|
A resurrected body has flesh and
bones.
|
||
|
Come unto me.
|
Born of water and of the Spirit
|
||
|
The keys of the kingdom
|
The way, the truth, and the life
|
||
|
Love the Lord; love thy neighbor.
|
If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
|
||
|
Teach and baptize all nations.
|
Knowing God and Jesus Christ is
eternal life.
|
Divide students into pairs. Ask
students to review with their partners the scripture mastery passages written
on the board. You might suggest that one partner read aloud the key words from
a scripture mastery passage and the other partner name the corresponding
reference. Invite students to alternate roles until they have reviewed all 10
passages.
If time permits, consider giving
students a quiz. Provide students with pieces of paper that include the key
words for each scripture mastery passage followed by a blank line. Invite
students to write the corresponding reference on the blank line. After
sufficient time, review the quiz.
Commentary
and Background Information
Acts
1:18. Judas’s death
The Joseph
Smith Translation helps clarify the discrepancy between Matthew 27:3–5, which records that Judas hanged
himself, and Acts 1:18, which records that Judas fell and his
“bowels gushed out.” The Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew 27:6 reads as follows: “And he cast down
the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself
on a tree. And straightway he fell down, and his bowels gushed out, and he
died” (see Matthew 27:5, footnote a).
Acts
1:21–22. “A witness with us of his resurrection”
President Joseph Fielding Smith
taught that the greatest witness of the Savior’s divinity comes from the Holy
Ghost:
“They [the Twelve Apostles] are
special witnesses for Jesus Christ. It is their right to know the truth
and to have an abiding witness. This is an exacting duty upon them, to know
that Jesus Christ is in very deed the Only Begotten Son of God, the
Redeemer of the world. …
“The question frequently arises: ‘Is
it necessary for a member of the Council of the Twelve to see the Savior in
order to be an apostle?’ It is their privilege to see him if occasion requires,
but the Lord has taught that there is a stronger witness than seeing a
personage, even of seeing the Son of God in a vision. Impressions on the soul
that come from the Holy Ghost are far more significant than a vision” (“The
First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve,” Improvement Era, Nov.
1966, 979).
Acts
1:24–26. How are Apostles called in our day?
Following the calling and sustaining
of Elder Robert D. Hales as an Apostle, President Gordon B. Hinckley
explained how an Apostle is called today:
“Under the Lord’s plan, those who
have responsibility to select officers are governed by one overriding question:
‘Whom would the Lord have?’ There is quiet and thoughtful deliberation. And
there is much of prayer to receive the confirmation of the Holy Spirit that the
choice is correct.
“… In filling [the vacancy in
the Quorum of the Twelve], each member of the First Presidency and the Quorum
of the Twelve was at liberty to make suggestions. I am confident that in every
case, there was solemn and earnest prayer. A choice was then made by the First
Presidency, again after solemn and serious prayer. This choice was sustained by
the Council of the Twelve. Today, the membership of the Church in conference
assembled has sustained that choice.
“I give you my testimony … that the
impression to call Brother Hales to this high and sacred office came by the
Holy Spirit, by the spirit of prophecy and revelation. Brother Hales did not
suggest his own name. His name was suggested by the Spirit” (“God Is at the Helm,” Ensign, May 1994, 53–54).
Acts
1:24–26. Apostles called in our day
Although the general membership of
the Church does not choose the next Apostle or even local priesthood leaders of
the Church, we do have the opportunity to sustain those whom God calls. President
Gordon B. Hinckley taught what it means to sustain others: “The procedure
of sustaining is much more than a ritualistic raising of the hand. It is a
commitment to uphold, to support, to assist those who have been selected” (“This Work Is Concerned with People,” Ensign, May
1995, 51).

Cultivate
an environment of love, respect, and purpose
Consistently look for ways to
cultivate a learning environment of love, respect, and purpose. Help students
feel comfortable with each other by encouraging them to learn about one
another’s interests, talents, challenges, and abilities. One way to cultivate
this type of environment is to invite students to share with each other
experiences and insights from their personal scripture study.
