IT'S WORTH THE WAIT

MAIN TAKEAWAY: Between his going and his coming, Jesus left us the Holy Spirit — and that is everything we need for everything we’re called to do.

AFTER EASTER

'39Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.” '

John 20:22

IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING

'24“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.
