Sunday Evening
Now when it was evening on that day—the first day of the week—and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.”
Jesus was just in their midst
from no where
The men and women were in fear
now every thing is ok
Shalom to you
The peace that God gives you
the peace that you are whole
The peace with God
because we have come to God on His terms He has provided to us peace with Him
And when he had said this, he showed his hands and his side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Because of the sacrifice of Jesus we can have peace with God
the wounds was evidence that the price of salvation has been paid
because of the atoning work of Jesus we can have peace
Justification
Therefore, because we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
we are declared righteous when we come to God through Jesus
God is not going to punish us for sin, the debt has been paid
we can have peace with our past. we have been declared not guilty
all sin has been forgiven, and we should forget it
The Peace of God
The Peace of God
the fact that all of the sin has been taken care of. The people in that room, could be apprehensive about the future
But God provides us peace in our hearts
talking with Linda about the covid she was a little worried about passing it on to others
but she was not worried about dying from it
Why? She has peace with God
She has the peace of God
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
the disciples have gone through a very traumatic week
now they are behind locked doors and Jesus is there
they are now terrified
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
again peace to you
This great peace that God provides
when we get the diagnosis
the bad news
unsure of the future
Gods peace is given when we worship Jesus
when we are thankful
when we give to God our requests
He give a peace in our hearts that is beyond understanding
The Great Commission
The Great Commission
peace to you
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
I send you
this is the first time Jesus gives the Great Commission
later on after this time Jesus gave it to them in more instructions
And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the age.”
Here in John he says I am sending you just as the Father sent me
The father had a commission for the son
for the purpose of
The saying is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
and Jesus in constant prayer with the Father did exactly as the Father instructed
Jesus often needed to get alone with the Father to pray
Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
so these men needed to be just as much in contact with the Father
be relying on the Holy Spirit to control their lives
to be wanting to please Jesus more than wanting to please ourselves
Picking up our cross daily and follow Jesus
and through all of this we have the peace that Jesus gives us
The Holy Spirit Given
The Holy Spirit Given
Here in John we have the Holy Spirit being Breathed into the people in this room
in Genesis we see God breathing into man and creating a human
when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
here in John
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Jesus again breathes into these people and creates a new creation
a spiritual man
Breathes into them new life
knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with him, in order that the body of sin may be done away with, that we may no longer be enslaved to sin.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
this is just a portion of the Holy Spirit that these men will need over the next 50 days
until the Holy Spirit comes and Baptizes and fills these same men
for the power to complete their mission
We receive this at our point of belief
the Holy Spirit indwells us and we become a new creation
this was a special indwelling for the first believers
because they had to wait until Pentecost for the fullness of the Holy Spirit
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
this does not give us the unauthorized power of catholic priest
to absolve sin , to give penance for sin
this also does not give us the power only God has
“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
As John Stott says, “The Apostles understood that the authority the risen Lord had given them was the authority of a preacher and not that of a priest.”1
the authority to pronounce forgiveness lies in the fact that if someone is a believer
if someone is a new creation
if someone has put his faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross for his salvation
then we can pronounce to this person that his sins are forgiven
If we are saved.
there was one day Jesus made an appearance into our lives
he brought with Him
Salvation
Gave to us the Holy Spirit
Made us into new Creations
Peace with God
Peace of God
sent us out to evangelize the world
just as Jesus came into this world to save sinners
