Now What? | Commitment to the Way - Chris Sturgeon

About this episode

Chris Sturgeon discusses Jesus' first appearance to his disciples after the crucifixion and the implications of his message of peace and service.

This is Jesus' first appearance to gathered disciples post crucifixion and his words to them are, "Peace be with you, as the Father has sent me, so I send you." That's a tough thing to hear from a person who has just been executed. Our path will be one of service and sacrifice. It is a downward arc.
