We just celebrated Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. In light of Jesus’ death and resurrection, what is the vision entrusted to us by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? What does it mean to be his disciple? And, in light of this, what kind of church should we be? Over the next three sermons, we will seek to answer these questions.

Over Easter, our Family Ministries Team prepared a creative, tactile experience of Jesus’ walk toward his death and resurrection. It was called Road to Easter. At one station, we were encouraged to draw a picture of worship. Immediately, I drew a person on the top of a mountain, with hands raised, looking out over the expanse of a vast mountain range.

What is it about mountaintops that inspire us to worship? Is it the beauty of creation, the majesty of a mountain range, or the experience of seeing beyond our little world and being overwhelmed by the expanse of God’s world?

At the end of Matthew, the Risen Jesus meets his disciples on a mountain. What does He want them to see?
