A Resurrection Meditation – Marching Orders for the Fearful
Peace. I send you. Receive the Holy Spirit. Forgive.
You have a purpose; I am giving you a much higher purpose than anything you could have imagined. Do you remember how I pronounced forgiveness of sin and that this was so much more than healing people’s bodies? Now I give you the same authority. This is what you are now to do.
As the Father sent me (to proclaim forgiveness) so I send you (to proclaim forgiveness). Jesus sends us to proclaim the good news of God’s forgiveness to all who will believe and accept it. This is the heart of the gospel.
