BASIC SCRIPTURE: JOHN 20:19-23 (KJV)
-
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
-
And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
-
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
-
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
-
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION
Key Verse: John 20:21 — “Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”
The Shut Doors (Verse 19):
The disciples were assembled behind closed doors. They were afraid of the Jews. The fear of man had shut them in. They were hiding. They were paralyzed. They were waiting. And then, in that locked room, Jesus appeared. He did not need an open door. He came through the walls. He came into their fear. He came into their hiding place. The doors could not keep Him out. And He said, “Peace be unto you.” The first word from the risen Christ was peace.
The Proof (Verse 20):
He showed them His hands and His side. The wounds were still visible. The scars were still there. He did not come in glory that erased the marks of suffering. He came with the evidence of His death. He came as the crucified and risen Lord. And when they saw Him, they were glad. The proof of His suffering was the source of their joy. The wounds brought peace.
The Second Peace (Verse 21):
He said it again: “Peace be unto you.” One peace was not enough. He repeated it. He wanted it to sink in. He wanted them to receive it fully. Then He said, “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” The peace was not just for comfort. It was for commissioning. You cannot be sent if you are still afraid. You cannot go if you are still hiding. The peace of Christ is the foundation of the mission.
The Breath (Verse 22):
He breathed on them and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” This was not the Pentecost outpouring. That would come later. This was a foretaste. This was a commissioning breath. The breath of Christ brings life. The breath of Christ brings power. The breath of Christ brings the Spirit. He breathes on you today. Receive the Holy Ghost.
The Authority (Verse 23):
“Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.” This is a staggering authority. Jesus gives His disciples the power to declare forgiveness and to withhold it. This is not a license to be arbitrary. It is a stewardship of the gospel. You proclaim forgiveness to those who repent. You warn of judgment to those who refuse. You carry the message of reconciliation. You speak on behalf of Christ.
Fear to Gladness:
The disciples went from fear to gladness in a moment. The presence of Christ changed everything. The same presence that brought peace also brought joy. The same presence that calmed their hearts also commissioned their lives. You do not have to stay in fear. The risen Christ is in your midst. He is saying, “Peace be unto you.”
Question for the Day:
Are you hiding behind shut doors of fear? Is the fear of man keeping you from your assignment? Open the door. Let Jesus stand in your midst. Receive His peace. Receive His Spirit. Receive His commission. Go as He was sent.
