Some of the strongest evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is the transformation in the disciples themselves. As John records, not all the disciples believed Jesus had resurrected even after they saw and heard the tomb was empty. But this doubt was crucified when Jesus unexpectedly joined them as they fearfully huddled locked in a room. Jesus showed the disciples his hands and side and they believed. Then Jesus commissioned them and sent them to declare the reality and truth of his resurrection, making disciples in His Name and He equipped them to do this by giving them the Holy Spirit.

The Old Testament plays a vital role in our understanding of the crucifixion of Jesus, the Lamb of God. John uses the OT as a interpretative tool, a lens through which to understand what is taking place at Calvary. John demonstrates Jesus is our Passover Lamb. There is no other way to be reconciled to God except through the death of Jesus Christ as our substitute. Only by Christ bearing the penalty of sin in the place of believing sinners, is there any hope for any of us. Jesus has satisfied the demands of justice in our place.

The Apostle John wants us to see is that Jesus is subjected to the world's rejection. This is what John has been telling us from the very beginning, from the opening prologue of the gospel, that Jesus came to His own and His own did not receive him. Nevertheless, John wants us to understand that even now, even in the midst of Jesus’ betrayal and trial, all things are going according to God’s plan. John wants us to understand that everything that happens to Jesus and everything Jesus does before Pilate, He does in fulfillment of Scripture.

This morning is Missions Sunday, a Sunday in which we emphasize the mission of the church. The church is comprised of all those saved by the grace of the Lord, called out of darkness and unbelief and brought to faith in Christ. Having received God's mercy, we have been commissioned to take the hope of the gospel to the nations. God chooses to make his offer of mercy and grace through us.
