In this episode, we finish chapter 20 of the Book of John. Jesus has been resurrected from the dead. Meanwhile, His disciples are in a locked room hiding from the Jewish leaders because they fear the Jewish leaders will execute them as well. Then, Jesus just appears to them. Jesus tells them that He will be sending them out to preach the gossip of His life, death and resurrection. Jesus breathed on them and said, "'Receive the Holy Spirit.'" This represents that what Jesus did on the cross now makes it possible for them and all believers to receive or to be baptized with the Holy Spirit--though the full indwelling of the Spirit will not happen until Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4). Jesus tells them that those who accept Him will have their sins forgiven. Finally, John tells us why he wrote his book; that is, to focus on Jesus as the Messiah and God, and so those who read it will accept Jesus as Savior.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
