Before Jesus returns in the cloud, the disciples feel they have finally figured it out. This is miraculous, Jesus has risen from the dead. But now he is finally going wipe out all of Israel's enemies and setup the earthly kingdom. Their dedication is finally going to pay off. Jesus has to set them all straight again and tell them that their work is not yet done.
Its funny, during the gospels, the disciples are portrayed in various states of childish intelligence. Yet, now that they are being sent off on their own you get the sense that these guys really know what they are talking about. Kelly's point about them choosing Judas's replacement peacefully seems to attest to how mature and thoughtful these guys really are. Sometimes you need to cut some people loose in order to find out how much they are capable of.
