Today in John chapter 19:19-23 we spend our time discussing what it  meant for Jesus to meet with His disciples on the first day of the week  (certainly one reason is that day was the day of His resurrection). Next  we begin to see the first day of the week begin as a pattern for the  early church's gatherings (though many still attended their synagogues  the day before in purpose to evangelize). We discover the abilities  Jesus now has, that He does not need to knock on the door or climb  through the window to be in the room, He is simply in the room with  them! We receive the "great commission" given to us today (as is also  revealed in Matthew 28; Mark 16, and Luke 22) and we understand this was  not a suggestion for the few, but a command for the whole of God's  children. Lastly we see the giving of the Holy Spirit take place in the  same manner as man was brought to life at the beginning. Jesus breathed  on them! Thus, we find the disciples filled with the Holy Spirit 40+  days before the Pentecost event of Acts chapter 2! Lots to be discovered  today with Pastor J!!!!
