Chapter 21
The care of Jesus and the forgiveness he is willing to extend is put on full display in this last chapter of our journey. Jesus is not just a historical figure; rather, he is the resurrected Lord of all things. That makes his care and his forgiveness a real offer to us as well. Let us seriously consider the offers and instructions of Jesus as we study this final chapter.
