The Church is Acts 20:28 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 21:10-14 10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.11 Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’ "12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.13 Then Paul answered, "Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord's will be done.” John 15:13 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. The Church is Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Jesus has Matthew 16:13-18 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."15 “But what about you?” he asked. "Who do you say I am?"16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Habakkuk 3:2 2 LORD , I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD . Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
