Text for the Day -- John 20:19-23 ---------- 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.’ After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’
Devotional ---------- The resurrected Christ did not leave us without resources to believe and trust and extend the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, is the living presence of God that dwells within and around us. As we walk in the Spirit, we walk in the new life of Christ in love, joy and service.
Prayer ------------- Strengthen my walk with the gift of your Spirit, Lord. Amen
