After Jesus' resurrection, His followers were to spread the joy of the resurrection. Even though many denied and deserted Him, their relationships would now be stronger than ever. His followers were told, "Whenever you are afraid, remember the empty tomb." the Apostles no longer feared the mighty power of Rome even though they were despised and persecuted. Outlawed Christians soon became the bloodsport of Rome. After Jesus is the story of how a small band of committed believers changed the world, bringing Christ's message to Europe, Asia, and Africa. After Jesus the world was never the same.
