Divine love requires humility and service

With a faith like that of our biblical ancestors, we can find in Christ’s body, blessed and broken for us, the source of everything we need.

Christians who continue Christ’s mission make the divine presence felt in even the most hostile of places.

The disciples’ mission is now ours, and Christ is ready to share with us the same power he gave them.

In Luke’s mind, the Spirit that had once dwelt in the Temple had now taken up residence among Christ’s disciples.

One might have expected a statement of disappointment or regret. Instead, Jesus speaks to his disciples of love.
