One cannot talk about the Christian  yet fail to mention Jerusalem, for the Jerusalem is the place  where the lord Jesus was crucified  and where the Christian community developed:
(i) Matt 27:45-54:- It was the Jerusalem that work of the salvation was consummated on the Cross. On  one occasion, while the Lord was eating with His Apostle, He gave them this command; Dot leave Jerusalem,  but wait for the gift  my Father promised .." (Acts 1:4) .
(ii) Acts. (2:1-5) It was the Jerusalem that the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles  to empower them to preach.
(iii) Acts. 1: 14-26:- It was in the Jerusalem  Mathias was elected to replace Apostle Judas Iscariot.
(iv) Acts. 8:14-17:- When the Apostle in the Jerusalem heard that the Samaria had accepted the word of God; they sent Peter and John to receive them formally into the church.
(v) Acts 15:1-5:- When some Christians from Antioch confronted Paul and Barnabas concerning the admission of the Gentiles into the Church, Paul and Barnabas were appointed  along with other believers to go up to the Jerusalem to see Apostles and elders  concerning the issue,
(vi) Acts. 15:6-21:- The Apostle convoked the first general council of the Church in the Jerusalem where the decided that  Circumcision is not necessary for salvation.
