THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 20 - Verse 21

Verse 21. As my Father hath sent me. As God sent me to preach, to be persecuted, and to suffer; to make known his will, and to offer pardon to men, so I send you. This is the design and the extent of the commission of the ministers of the Lord Jesus. He is their model; and they will be successful only as they study HIS character and imitate his example. This commission he proceeds to confirm by endowing them all with the gift of the Holy Ghost.

{w} "Peace be unto you" John 14:27 {x} "so send I you" Mt 28:19; John 17:18; 2 Ti 2:2; Hebrews 3:1
