Fourth Sunday of Easter (Year 3, NL)

In his final moments on earth, Jesus delivers a last lecture—with footnotes.

Fruitful ministry becomes sustainable when it is shared, person to person and generation to generation.

In biblical Greek, the word we translate as “abide” is active rather than passive.

Why doesn’t Jesus just remind the disciples of a story or an inside joke they shared before he died?

Pastors face intense challenges—though not necessarily unique ones.

Luke places Jesus’ final blessing and departure in Bethany—the root of which means “house” or “home.”

The Bible offers conflicting answers.

Like the disciples at the ascension, we need a little help with interpretation.

What we see reminds us of what we miss, and vice versa.

In case flesh and bone aren’t enough to convince the disciples, Jesus also asks for dinner.

The disciples did not understand what was happening. What chance do we have? 

What does Jesus do after the resurrection? Take a walk.

Talking about God in the face of wounds that won’t go away

In Luke’s postresurrection appearances, the disciples have to reckon with the traumatic somatic.
