The message of the post-resurrected Jesus is the message of peace with God, a peace first given to the disciples as ambassadors which they then carried into the world. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven uses John 20:19-23 to describe the Prince of Peace, the Ambassadors of Peace, and the World’s dependency on Christ’s Ambassadors.
“Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.'” (John 20:19-20)
