Christ’s Church
When Christ lived on the earth He established His Church. He chose twelve Apostles to lead it. After His Resurrection, He commanded them to go to all the world, teaching people His gospel and baptising them (Matthew 28:19–20). Christ gave the Apostles the authority to act in His name and do the works they had seen Him do. Others received authority from the Apostles. They were also able to teach, baptise, and perform other ordinances in Christ’s name. The Twelve Apostles traveled extensively preaching the gospel, establishing congregations, and performing many wonderful works. They were the foundation of Christ’s Church. After His death, the Savior led His Church through the Apostles by continuing revelation (Acts 1:2).
