The Gospel of Luke ends with a series of new beginnings.
First, Jesus's reveals his resurrection to his disciples in a manner that would have constituted certain proof in the ancient world.
It is also a sign that the age of salvation has begun, and with it, a new mission for Jesus's disciples. Where once they were followers, now they are witnesses sent to every corner of the earth - a mission, it turns out, was always part of the plan of salvation!
And it is a mission to which we, too, are called.
The text for this sermon is Luke 24:36-53 (NRSV).
