Resurrected Jesus engages his followers

Jesus engaged with his followers in the following ways
Acts 1:1-4; Luke 24:13-49
 - Gave instructions through the Holy Spirit, presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He ate with them and spoke to them, giving clear instructions (don't leave Jerusalem, wait for the gift my Father promised...)
 - He came to people where they were (7 miles from Jerusalem, Cleopas and another on the road to Emmaus)
 - Asked questions to understand what they think (what are you discussing... what things)
 - He rebuked them for being "slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken", proclaiming the Messiah had to suffer these things then enter his glory
 - Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself
