In this message, Pastor Eric reflects on the mysterious nature of Jesus' resurrection appearances. Drawing on the Apostle Paul's description of the "risen Lord" as a "life-giving Spirit" rather than just a "living being," he explores the resurrection story of Jesus feeding the disciples breakfast in John 21 and three times asking Peter, "Do you love me?"
This scene invites us to consider how the disciples don't just "see" a resurrected Christ, but rather encounter Jesus' Life-Giving Spirit, which also raises them up to new life. What might this mean for us as we are invited to encounter Christ's Life-Giving Spirit today? How might God raise you up to new life, and with you all the world?
