John 20 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’
Jesus returns from the grave, and immediately He gives the marching orders for troops…
Jesus came to teach us how to live and what it means to follow God, and here He gives the disciples, the Spirit, the breath of life. He breaths on them and send them out. Just as God sent Him here to teach us, now He sends out the disciples to teach the world how to live and love as Jesus did. It is Life 101 if you will! It is the way we should live. Sent!
We are a group of people so filled with God that we have something we have to share. We have something we know is so good that we have to share it. And that is what God does, He sent Jesus, and now He is sending us.
So go, and tell. You are sealed and filled to be His messenger. So go and tell everyone that Jesus was born, died and was raised from the dead, and He is coming again to take us with Him.
So go sent one!
