John 20:19-23 \nMaggie Mraz returns to the pulpit this week! And it\u2019s UNC\u2019s Rush! The flurry of events at the beginning of each year that sees fraternities and sororities recruiting new members into their organizations. The same few questions are repeated hundreds of times in a furious effort to get to know perfect strangers. Strangers who may be spending the majority of their social life in college with their interviewers. \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d they ask. \u201cWhat are your goals?\u201d When Jesus returns to his disciples after his crucifixion, he commissions them all to be recruiters on a much larger scale. That commission is our own today. How do we stand up? Maggie has some challenges for us.
