Following the Way: Resurrection Love (Chris)

This is the final lesson in our "Following the Way" series.  Just before his crucifixion, Jesus told his followers that loving each other as he loved them was his last and main commandment.  Christ then delivered perfect examples of love in seven episodes between his resurrection and ascension.  We will explore each as inspirations for our own discipleship.
