As the Father Sent Me - I Send You #sosendiyou #Jesus #sent #peacebewith...


“Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.” -John 20:19

“...as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."

Peace is:

Presence – Suddenly, Jesus is present among them, before them, and for them. The presence of Jesus releases them from their terror and calls them out of hiding.

Ease – The General come into a room of privates and someone calls, “Attention!” Then the General says, “At ease,” and the troops take a more relaxed stance.

Activated – Jesus says, “As I was sent, so, I am sending you.

Courageous – God’s peace gives us courage.

Energizing – In this encounter, Jesus bestows the continuing presence of God and himself with them, breathing and saying, “receive the Holy Spirit.

"And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." - John 20:22

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”

Peace settles things.

It allows the right order and relationship and brings vision into focus.  

It is absolute well-being, and it is the gift of the Risen Christ.  

His peace does more than just calm the soul, however; it enlivens the spirit and prepares us for a calling.  In our vision of the resurrected Lord, is a clear and compelling message from God: 

As the Father sent Jesus into the world, so we are being sent by Jesus.  

He came as a servant; we have been sent to serve.  

He came in the power of the Holy Spirit; we go forth in that same power.  

He came to do great works; we have been sent to do greater works because He indwells us.  

He came to die; we die to self that we may live to Him.  

This commission is neither symbolic nor optional.  

It is not an addition to His promise of peace; it a result of it and reason for it.  It cannot be realized by proxy.  

We have been commissioned.  

We are sent.

Peace to you.

Receive the Spirit.

I am sending you.

The King of Richmond, Gabriel's Rebellion

Image
General Gabriel Prosser  (1775-1800) On August 30,  1800, Gabriel Prosser intended to lead a rebellion and become the king of Richmond and several surrounding counties. An enslaved man, Gabriel was "owned" by Thomas Henry Prosser of Brookfield plantation near Richmond, Virginia. He was most likely born on the plantation where he lived. He was married and he was a skilled blacksmith, He believed that his people were being unjustly enslaved and wanted to do something about it Out of that, he organized a major slave uprising.  It was the boldest plan of its kind to be conceived of in the history of slavery in the Southern states. It may have succeeded. However, it was literally rained out. There was a sudden and severe downpour.  Also, some of the  slaves  of Mosby Shepherd told their master of the plot and it was thwarted. After this attempted uprising, new laws went into effect limiting the mobility, literacy, and relative freedom of enslaved peoples. Did he...

Crossing the Bar

Image
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was first and foremost, a poet. It was not an avocation for him. It was his primary vocation. It was calling. He was certain of it. Even if old age, when granted a peerage which gained him admission to the House of Lords in England, he said that he accepted on behalf of literature. If he had written nothing else, this work would have made the journey worthwhile for all of us. Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar. Alfred, Lord Tennyson Reading at Poetry Foundation Biography of Tennyson
