As Christians...followers of Christ...we are part of the awesome creation of God: the church! We have a calling from God that glorifies him but also gives our lives meaning and purpose. We do this all for Jesus!

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

The disciples were discouraged following their failures leading up to the cross but Jesus wanted to restore them and remind them of the importance of following him even in times of disappointment.
