On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Jesus breathed new life into his disciples. They received the Holy Spirit…someone you and I also have if we have been obedient to God’s word. The Holy Spirit changes everything…because now…God dwells in us. We have a guide…a mentor…an encourager…a moral compass. We have the very spirit of God and yet most days we don’t even act like He is there. So today…try to be more aware of his presence in your life. Seek to lean on his direction and understanding more. Let the Holy Spirit become your lead.
