Acts1:1-8
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
“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).

“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).
