Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:21-22 NIV Ressurection day and there's 3 things that Jesus gives (3 gifts?); Peace Commissioning And the Holy Spirit Jesus breathed on them. An echo of God breathing life in Genesis 2, here is Life 2.0, ressurection life, life with God in a whole new way And now, the apostles are ready to go, to be the genesis of the New Testament church, to be God's representatives in the world. And Jesus gives us those 3 things too... peace, work to do, and the Holy Spirit to guide and empower us. We don't just go to church, we are the church, Jesus' representatives in and to the world... #peace #senttoserve #life2.0 #breathofGod #thechurch

Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." John 20:21 NIV Peace. Peace from knowing that Jesus is who he said he is, peace from knowing that everything he said is true... And then. A commissioning. A call to action. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve, and his team are here being sent out in the same way. And so are we. Sent to serve. Peace first. Then sent. When Jesus gave his team the example of serving by washing their feet, he didn't go across town or around the world, but started with those closest to him. That's where it starts, love and serve those in your house first. #peace #peacebewithyou #sent #senttoserve #lovepeople
