You're sending me Where??

Saturday May 21st: Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven. Whoooow there Jesus, that is not what we signed on for. We wanted a good ride where everything went well and now after showing us what they did to you, you want us to go out there? The answer of course is Yes. Not just go out there, we already do that. We do that when we go to work or play, we do that when we go to the store or the sea shore. We do that when talk on the phone or go to school or do both at the same time. It is not a matter of going out there, it is a matter of going out there as an ambassador for God’s love and grace into a world that wants to turn God into a hammer to beat others over the head with. Listen up all you Lutherans; you are needed by the world now more than ever. As the Fathers has sent Jesus, so now you are sent, and it won’t always be pretty.
