“There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.”

Peace Be with You
When Jesus appears to His disciples after the resurrection, He doesn’t waste time. His first words are, “Peace be with you,” and then, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” This moment is the starting line of the Christian mission.
Jesus doesn’t just bring a message of peace—He brings the presence and purpose of God. Just as the Father sent Him into the world to bring light, love, and truth, He now sends us to do the same.
You may feel unqualified, unsure, or like you don’t fit the mold of what a “witness” should be. But this verse—and the video—remind us that Jesus doesn’t ask for perfection. He asks for participation.
Wherever you are, whatever your background, your story matters. Your voice, your culture, your language—God wants to use it. Jesus sends you not alone, but with His peace and His Spirit.
So go. In your own way. With your own words. Into your own neighborhood. You’ve been sent.
