Receive and Move

Pentecost Sunday

 

Focus text, “Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you’...he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’”

 

Interestingly, just before the disciples reentered the world around them, after spending time behind locked doors, the Lord blesses them with peace and blesses them with His presence in the Holy Spirit.

 

What if Jesus stood among us today as we move outward, reentering the world around us after this long quarantine period?  What does peace mean now?  What did that peace allow the disciples to do then and what does it allow us to do today that we couldn’t before?  The Holy Spirit will enable them to co-create the emerging new normal, we now know as normal.  What will the Holy Spirit enable us to create today?

 

Next step: Receive and move ahead.
