I’m a learned Extrovert - How introverts experience anxiety
How extroverts experience axiety
We all have areas in our lives where we experience fear, worrym, and anxiety in our lives
If anyone had reason to experience any of these types of anxiety it was the disciples in the upper room in the days following the Crucifixion of Jesus.
John 20:19-23
Last week was easter Sunday, where we find our selves in the passage today, it is still Resurrection Sunday
This is still Resurrection Sunday.
I was thinking the other day, what’s one way of making sure I preached a good Easter Message Cistern Church’s first Easter??? Then the light came on!
I know!
I’ll preach two Easter Messages.
So if you didn’t think much of last week’s message, here’s a 2nd attempt!!! Just kidding.
Just before Palm Sunday we wrapped up our series on Colossians, we looked at The Gospel of John’s account of the event’s on Easter morning and decided, “let’s just finish the Gospel of John.
We’re so close to the end of the book.
Let’s just continue from where we left off from Easter to the end of this gospel
Where we left off was , so we’re picking up here in verse 19

vs. 19-20 - Setting the Scene
Verse 19 and 20 pretty much tells us the big picture of what happened that night, 21-23 give us more details.
But let’s set the scene...
It’s Sunday night.
8 days ago Jesus’ was welcomed in to Jerusalem as the God’s instrument of Salvation,
For 5 days Jesus taught in the temple and performed miracles on the streets of Jerusalem
4 nights ago the disciples were in this very same room enjoying a feast with Jesus as their leader.
they talked about the kingdom
3 days ago Jesus died on a cross
Earlier this same day they found out Jesus’ body was no longer in the tomb
Compare and Contrast the Upper Room on Thursday & Sunday
Joy & Expectation vs. Fear & Dread
Looking to Jesus vs. Looking out for Authorities
vs. 19 “Peace be with you.”
:!9
Jesus’ first word is “Peace”
This is the one thing the disciples do not have.
traditional middle-eastern greeting, but in context means so much more
translation - May God give you every good thing
vs. 20 - the presence of Jesus changes everything
Jesus’ presence changes everything.
Jesus’ shows his disciples his hands and his side.
The cross wasn’t some nightmare or bad dream.
It was real.
It happened… and here Jesus was standing in their midst proving that he had overcome, even the cross.
Changes the atmosphere
Changes our emotional state
changes our focus
John 20:
Notice that in once sense, nothing about the disciples situation had really changed.
The authorities were probably still upset and looking for Jesus’ followers.
Probably even more so now b/c a body was “missing.”
Jesus rising from the dead didn’t change their social, political, or economic status.
It did change their focus.
They were no looking at Jesus, rather than looking at their
Jesus’ presence in our lives changed everything!!!
Jesus’ invitation the disciples earlier in john is to abide ()
When we are not abiding in Jesus, we quickly turn our focus outward to the things in our life that cause fear and anxiety.
we operate out of fear rather than identity
Peter in the garden vs. Peter in the courtyard
________
Vs. 21-23 - The Commission of Jesus
vs. 21 - Peace & Sending
vs. 21 - Peace & Sending
vs. 21 - Peace & Sending
again Jesus says “peace be with you”
Re-iterate literal translation: MayGod give you every good thing… for what?
Illustration: A sandwich is a good thing, but not in every moment
..As the father has sent me, even so I am sending you...
It’s your turn now...
How did the father send Jesus
In the power of the Spirit
In relationship with the Father
What did this look like (What did the disciples witness in the life of Jesus?)
Jesus didn’t just teach the disciples what they “ought” to do.
He modeled
They saw his prayer life
Often times Jesus went off alone to pray
They saw him suffer
Unfair accusations and quessions
While Praying in the Garden
Crucifixion
WHY?
So that when the disciples faced opposition, accusations and suffering, they would know this is not unexpected or unbecoming of a disciple Jesus
They say the miraculous (as a result of relationship with the father)
We are sent out as disciples in process, leaning on, looking to, and pointing others to Jesus as the savior, redeemer, and source of new life.
vs. 22 “Receive the Holy Spirit”
Jesus breathed on them
- New life given to Adam!
- Dry bones raised to life
