Luke 24:45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
The word that was used often in the passage as I read about Jesus converstation during His return is "Scriptures".
That is the word of God and Jesus has to empahsize that. Digging into the word means getting to know God more. That laid a foundation to understand this God. Of course, it is also the experience we need with Jesus - the walk and the talk with Him. Finally, embrace the intend of God and the purpose of Jesus dying - be the witness of these things, the repentence and forgiveness of sins should be proclaim..
Knowing God - is the theology and your allienace, knowing Jesus - is about finding your identity and your purpose, walking and talking with Him - is about setting your values and your prioirties and finding doing what Jesus ask - is about empowerment and laying your foundation to know Him more.
To comment lastly, one of the way God empowered us is through the Holy Spirit - the gift that Jesus promise.
