Yes, You!

📖 Scripture:

John 20:21 (KJV)“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”

🗝️ Key Word Translations & Explanations:

1. “Peace” – Greek: Eirēnē (εἰρήνη)

   • Meaning: Wholeness, harmony, rest, security—not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of divine order.

   • Spiritual Application: Jesus isn’t offering a wishful “calm down”—He’s granting a Kingdom commission under Heaven’s authority. This is battlefield peace — the kind that makes you unshakable in chaos.

     
     

2. “Hath sent” – Greek: Apostellō (ἀποστέλλω)

   • Meaning: To dispatch with full authority and a specific mission; also where we get the word apostle.

   • Used in: John 3:17 — “For God sent (apostellō) not His Son into the world to condemn the world…”

   • Insight: Jesus was the original missionary, sent from Heaven with a purpose. Not as a tourist. Not as a refugee. But as a warrior-Lamb on assignment.

     
     

3. “Send I you” – Greek: Pempō (πέμπω)

   • Meaning: To send out strategically; often used for military or diplomatic assignments.

   • Difference from Apostellō: Pempō emphasizes the sending; apostellō focuses more on the office and authority of the one sent.

   • Application: Jesus was sent with authority; now we are sent on a mission. The same Kingdom that backed Him backs us.

     
     

💡 Tactical Truth:

This is not just a Benediction—this is a Commissioning Ceremony. Jesus breathes peace, authority, and purpose into His disciples. The same breath that calmed storms now fuels their marching orders.

✈️ Deployment Summary (Mission Nugget):

John 20:21 is not sentimental—it’s strategic. It’s your Spiritual flight orders from the risen Christ. You’ve been:

• Authorized by the Father (apostellō)

• Empowered by the Son (eirēnē)

• Dispatched into the battlefield (pempō)

  
  

This verse turns followers into faith-forward warriors. Heaven didn’t just call you to survive. It sent you to stand.
