every single one of the of the original apostles there's some sort of martyrdom story. yeah that's interesting you know we have all of these stories thousands of stories in fact but the these stories come from decades centuries sometimes even a millennium after the events that they supposedly described and they've been written by people who want to present at those events they've been embellished so the story about peter he was crucified upside down we're told because he thought he was unworthy to die like jesus it's a great story. now the story itself. is can be dated to the earliest in the second century but he doesn't say he's unworthy to die like jesus he gives a whole other explanation and so well he says that sin has turned the world on its head and so by dying upside down it's a symbol of how christ comes to end of this it's very theological so i was this is a story being told it's five generations or three yeah i mean this is maybe it's almost one hundred years after he died by someone who never met peter much less you know watched him die and there are other el

the apostle paul, the brilliant explainer of the gospel transition of the human heart said in 2 corinthians9:6, "if i sow bountifully, i will reap bountifully." i have never met a christian who did not believe in sowing. it is as natural as breathing to a believer to believe in sowing. i've never met a farmer who did not believe in sowing. i've never met a preacher who did not believe that god was worthy of our seed. but i've only met a handful that believe in reaping. only a handful. now we sow to god based on his qualification to receive. but we can only reap proportionate to our confidence that we're worthy to receive. there's a little catch. "mike, is it possible for somebody to sow seed and not get a harvest?" yes. yes. because if all i needed to do was to sow seed... a rich man could purchase god in his favor, and a poor man wouldn't have a chance. but god added something to the seed and harvest equation. he added the word "expectation." it's not enough to plant a seed. that seed must have an instruction. it must be wrapped with expectation of a harvest.

, but mary who went out to herald his regs recollection and announce it -- she went to the other apostles and told them about it, she was not talking about the elevation of his physical body. she was talking about something i think described as a spiritual principle or a deposit of energy. is that correct? >> that's right. it is quite clearly depicted within the gospel that mary had a vision at the tomb. this vision involved an angel. jesus himself had taught that resurrection involved people becoming like angels. he said this very openly in the gospel according to mark. mary and jesus were entirely on the same wavelength where it concerned resurrection. at a later period, the view of resurrection became more and more physical, but it is interesting that the earlest writer to speak of the resurrection who is st. paul also agrees with mary magdalene and jesus. he says that the resurrection has to be understood as spiritual and not as physical. >> you know what your word are awakening here. they awaken the thought of where is the body? where did jesus' corpse go? it is not reanimated corpse

that message of mercy and service that jesus was trying to teach his apostles.is the same message that the pope is passing on when he is washing the feet of young criminals in a sense? these are people who, he has chosen to wash their feet not just because they're miss understood or society betrayed them. probably a lot of these guys are in fact guilty of crimes. and yet, he is going to wash their feet. mercy exceeds justice and it is that love, that undeserved love, that is the heart of this ceremony. jenna: steve, we should mention to the viewers we brief that is happening as we speak. we expect to get some pictures of that a little later today. we'll share those with our viewers that get them. struck by something pope put on twitter. the pope and twitter, relatively new, pope benedict started it. here he is what he said being with jesus demands that we go out from ourselves and delivering a tired and habitual faith. that seams like a pretty strong message to the church. as an institution, steven. what do you take from that sort of comment during the holy week
