Courage to Accompany our Fears
Jesus makes use of flawed people in his mission. Though the disciples betrayed and deserted him in his darkest hour, he now restores their relationship, going so far as to call them “brothers,” (28:10) again. We are like the disciples. We are flawed persons and have failed him as individuals and as a church. But Jesus continues to call us to follow him into the world and to represent him. And he assures us that he is with us to the “end of the age.”
