God Breathed

He breathed on them and said; “receive ye the Holy Spirit.”

                God breathed into Adam the breath of life and he became a living being. Jesus breathed on the disciples so they would become a spiritual beings. The breath of God separated Adam from all the animal kingdom. The breath of Jesus separated the disciples from the rest of humankind.

                Jesus would first have to ascend to Heaven to give us the Holy Spirit. This is a gift that God greatly wants everyone to have. “Greater works” will we do than Jesus because of the Holy Spirit’s ability to be within each of us. Jesus in His incarnation was limited to one body. However, the Holy Spirit is not limited to one body but to as many as will receive Him.

                Jesus breathed on them knowing they could not yet do what He asked. “Receive the Holy Spirit,” but they couldn’t yet. Why would Jesus command them in something they couldn’t do? It is for us. For the future generations. That we would seek and receive this great gift.

                You are hand crafted by God. He not only made you in His image but has given you the Divine breath, His conscience spark that separates you from the animals. And He desires to breathe on you once again. Will you receive the Spirit today?
