And when he said this, he breathed on them…

Each week the Bible lesson brings me into a deeper awareness of God’s Love. Thank you for feeding the sheep. Before coming to your church, I daily read the weekly lesson and circled passages, but I never got out my Bible to go deeper. This week I read in John 20:22, “And when he said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” Recently this important verse came to my attention for the first time. And here it was again. I closed my eyes and imagined what that would have been like to be in His presence during the miraculous events that unfolded on that holy, sacred Sunday of his resurrection. What a glorious transformation his disciples received from their beloved Master, the risen Christ. Not only had he overcome death, but lived and breathed his resurrection power into their spirit so they could continue the Father’s work! And the wonder is that it continues to this day as we open the door and invite him in to sup.

I went on to read S&H 496:15-19:
“Hold perpetually this thought,–that it is the spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost and Christ, which enables you to demonstrate, with scientific certainty, the rule of healing, based upon its divine Principle, Love, underlying, overlying, and encompassing all true being.”

Unity of Good, 42:13-15
“Man, in Science, is as perfect and immortal now, as when “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.”

I am grateful to have been guided here to learn and grow. Thank you, Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit, Mrs. Eddy, and the Plainfield Church!
