John 20:19-23 Upper Room
/

On the evening of that first Easter Sunday, the disciples are locked in the upper room. Jesus, the risen Lord, shows up physically. He commissions them to live out God’s post-Resurrection purpose for them and he breathes on them to bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit. In a scene that recalls Genesis 1-2, Jesus is dong an act of new-creation among them and calls them and us to live out of that new-creation.
