“So Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be to you; just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.’”

—John 20:21

We can look at how the Father sent Jesus to know how he sends us.

He sent him humbly, in the form of a baby who had to grow and learn just like we do.

He sent him humbly, as a servant who washed the feet of his own followers.

He sent him humbly, as a sacrifice willing to give up his own life and everything else in this world for the sake of others.

But not only humbly . . .

He sent him in power, as one who did not have to fear evil because he had overcome it.

He sent him in power, the relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit guiding and enabling him to resist temptation and walk in truth.

He sent him in power, as one who was not controlled by the fear of death.

He sent him in power, as one who stood up to those in authority when they oppressed others.

He sent him in power, with the authority to defeat our enemy who prowls about seeking to devour us.

We have been sent as humble servants with a power that no one can take from us, ready to give up this life at its end, dying to self each moment before that, yet walking in the strength that we can only get from abiding in Christ with every breath.
