Daily Devo | Receive the Holy Spirit! (John 20:19-23)

-- Note: No devo tomorrow, April 30. We'll be at a staff overnight retreat --

That Easter Sunday evening, Jesus appeared amongst the fearful disciples. Jesus' presence displaced their fear with joy and peace. But Jesus came to give them something even more -- a commission and the power to live out their calling. That power was the Spirit that Jesus breathed upon them, the same Spirit that God still breathes upon us today.

For Reflection:

Jesus was passing his mission to the disciples. They would need power to do what Jesus was calling them to do -- the power of the Spirit!

- There are some things that God calls us all to do and there are some things that are more individual. What is your sense of what God has called you to do? Whom has God called you to love in the name of Jesus?

- What are some of the challenges you've experienced in loving and forgiving people? How has God's power, God's Spirit, shown up in those struggles?
