The Silent Commission
Scripture Reading: John 20:19-23 (NASB)
>“So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’ If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
This passage reveals a profound truth: the same Jesus who was sent by the Father to bring us salvation now sends us out into the world. He does not send us in our own strength, but by breathing His Holy Spirit upon us, empowering us to carry His message of forgiveness and peace.
Just as the disciples were behind locked doors, we can often remain in our places of safety and fear. But Christ’s commission breaks through every barrier. He sends us—as He was sent—to proclaim reconciliation and release through His name.
