The disciples' last sight of Jesus wasn't a rebuke. It was His scarred hands raised in blessing.
In Luke 24:50–53, the risen Christ blesses the men who failed Him, then ascends—still blessing them.

We are not superior people telling inferior people to get their lives together. We are beggars who have found the Bread of Life in Christ, telling other beggars where they can find Him too.
In this sermon from Luke 24:47–49, I explain what it means to proclaim the gospel to all nations as witnesses empowered by the Holy Spirit.

How can our sins be forgiven?
The natural answer is, “I must do something to make up for what I have done.” But Jesus did not send His disciples to preach penance, religious works, or self-punishment.
He sent them to preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins in His name.
Forgiveness is found in Christ, not in trying to pay for sin ourselves.
