204. John 20:19-23 Sent By The Son-Part 1 (1-8-23)

Calvary Chapel Elk Grove-Gospel of John

204. John 20:19-23 Sent By The Son-Part 1 Pastor Phil Ballmaier Calvary Chapel Elk Grove 1-8-23 We continue focusing this morning on new beginnings, as the resurrected Jesus appears to His disciples. Can you put yourself in their shoes? One can only imagine how it felt when their eyes were opened when Jesus said, "Peace be with you." Up until that time Jesus had appeared to Mary at the tomb, and the men on the road to Emmaus, but today we see the disciples scared, and hiding away from the Jews, when suddenly Jesus appears in the room with them! Luke 24 gives an incredible and a bit more detailed parallel viewpoint of this moment. We also learn that, following His death, Jesus stayed on the earth for 40 more days, in His resurrected body to further equip and commission his disciples and all those He encountered. Leaving us a legacy to follow... In this section of scripture we reach a turning point in all of our study of The Gospel of John as it is the monumental beginning of The New Covenant. It's the foundation for the beginning of The Holy Spirit's work in the life of these new testament believers. And the Great Commission for them and all of us as Christian believers. Let's join Pastor Phil for this exciting message... But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;" 1 Peter 3:15 Calvary Chapel Elk Grove is a non-denominational fellowship located in Roselle, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Illinois.
