The resurrection informs our mission as a church, giving us a message to share in word and in deed.
Today as we look at John 20:21, we will see that just as Jesus was sent by the Father into the world, Jesus sends His followers, and as followers of Christ, our mindset must be that we incarnate (give flesh to) the mission of God through the Spirit.
