I wonder if during that entire Sunday between these two events, the disciples were full of questions, doubt, and curiosity over a clearly empty tomb, and the possibility of a resurrected Jesus.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, while we don\u2019t know what Jesus was doing during the entire day leading up to what John focuses on that evening, the next event John describes happens that evening.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our passage for this episode is found in John\u2019s gospel, chapter 20, and we will read it using the Good News Translation. Starting in verse 19, John describes the scene to us:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>19\u00a0<\/sup>It was late that Sunday evening, and the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities. Then Jesus came and stood among them. \u201cPeace be with you,\u201d he said.\u00a0<sup>20\u00a0<\/sup>After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord.\u00a0<sup>21\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus said to them again, \u201cPeace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you.\u201d\u00a0<sup>22\u00a0<\/sup>Then he breathed on them and said, \u201cReceive the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<sup>23\u00a0<\/sup>If you forgive people&#8217;s sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Pausing briefly, I find it amazing in this event that Jesus breathes on His disciples, which I suspect has more symbolic meaning than physical. I wonder if this breathing is symbolically connected to God breathing into the nostrils of Adam in the garden after He had formed him. <strong>God breathed the breath of life into Adam, and now we see Jesus breathing on His disciples and connecting this breath with receiving the Holy Spirit and a brand new spiritual life.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>It is also significant to point out that <strong>Jesus gives His followers the authority to forgive sins, which is something that is normally reserved for God.<\/strong> However, the immediate context for this is having the Holy Spirit in one\u2019s life, so <strong>while God can forgive sins, and while Jesus can forgive sins, the Holy Spirit, when living in a believer\u2019s heart and life can also forgive sins.<\/strong> While this might bring up pictures in your mind of a catholic confessional booth, I suspect that Jesus meant for this promise and responsibility to be applied in a much different way.<\/p>\r\n<p>When Jesus gave His followers this responsibility when the Holy Spirit had entered their lives, I believe He expected His followers to apply it in the same way He applied it. If someone rejected Jesus, Jesus\u2019 message, or Jesus\u2019 presence, then they potentially would not receive forgiveness. However, while being nailed to a cross, Jesus asks God the Father to forgive those who were acting hostile towards Him, which tells us that Jesus preferred to forgive others rather than withhold forgiveness.<\/p>\r\n<p>I suspect that this responsibility Jesus gives His followers is a responsibility that seeks to draw people to God, and to encourage them that God can forgive and that He has forgiven them through what Jesus accomplished on the cross. <strong>Forgiveness for sins is something that happens after one has sinned, and for forgiveness to stay present, there is the expectation that one will repent from their sin, which is a fancy way of saying that they will stop doing whatever sin they were doing. God has forgiven us, but we accept His forgiveness when we repent and believe in Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>However, John isn\u2019t finished sharing, because while we might think that all the disciples were present in that room, John tells us that one was missing. Continuing in verse 24, John tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>24\u00a0<\/sup>One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (called the Twin), was not with them when Jesus came.\u00a0<sup>25\u00a0<\/sup>So the other disciples told him, \u201cWe have seen the Lord!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Thomas said to them, \u201cUnless I see the scars of the nails in his hands and put my finger on those scars and my hand in his side, I will not believe.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>26\u00a0<\/sup>A week later the disciples were together again indoors, and Thomas was with them. The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them and said, \u201cPeace be with you.\u201d\u00a0<sup>27\u00a0<\/sup>Then he said to Thomas, \u201cPut your finger here, and look at my hands; then reach out your hand and put it in my side. Stop your doubting, and believe!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>28\u00a0<\/sup>Thomas answered him, \u201cMy Lord and my God!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>29\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus said to him, \u201cDo you believe because you see me? How happy are those who believe without seeing me!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>30\u00a0<\/sup>In his disciples&#8217; presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book.\u00a0<sup>31\u00a0<\/sup>But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In this second half of our passage, we discovered that during the first time Jesus appeared to all the disciples, that it really wasn\u2019t all the disciples. While Judas Iscariot was obviously not present since he had committed suicide, for one reason or another, Thomas was also not with the disciples.<\/p>\r\n<p>When hearing about Jesus appearing before the other disciples, Thomas makes the famous statement that he won\u2019t believe unless he sees Jesus personally, and that he is able to touch Jesus\u2019 scars.<\/p>\r\n<p>From that point forward, Thomas picks up the nickname of doubter. Doubting Thomas is who he is known as from that point forward. However, is this a fair nickname for this disciple?<\/p>\r\n<p>I don\u2019t believe it is. While Thomas strongly proclaims his doubt and hesitation over not seeing Jesus, Thomas demands to be able to see and touch Him. However, when Jesus appears to the disciples the following week, and challenges Thomas to touch His scars, nothing in this passage indicates that Thomas actually touches Jesus. Thomas proclaims in verse 28: \u201c<strong>My Lord and my God!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Following this, Jesus replies in verse 29: \u201c<strong>Do you believe because you see me? How happy are those who believe without seeing me!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The end of Thomas\u2019 story that\u2019s recorded in the Bible has Thomas believing in Jesus, and from Jesus\u2019 words, we can conclude that Thomas decided His belief and faith did not need to touch Jesus as well. <strong>Thomas believed Jesus was alive because he saw Him with his own eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>However, <strong>Jesus uses this as an opportunity to give all those who would come after a blessing. Jesus uses the same phrasing that He used in the opening of His famous Sermon on the Mount to give those who would believe in Jesus without seeing a blessing.<\/strong> This translation uses the word happy, while other translations used the word blessed. The word that is used here carries the ideas of blessing, happiness, spiritually security, and favored by God. <strong>When we believe in Jesus without requiring Him to show up physically in our lives, God promises to bless us, to favor us, and to give us His happiness.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The whole story of scripture, especially the gospel record, contains examples of how humanity fails to achieve God\u2019s ideal plan. In this passage, God gave Thomas an opportunity to believe without needing to see personally, but Thomas failed this opportunity.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, Jesus takes Thomas\u2019 failure and uses it to emphasize that those who believe in Jesus based on the testimony of others will be blessed. When we believe in Jesus based on the testimony we read in the Bible, and on the testimony we see in people\u2019s changed lives, we step into God\u2019s blessing, and into His favor. While there are plenty of reasons for a skeptic to doubt, there are even more reasons for us to test God\u2019s way out in our own lives and see if God\u2019s way is better.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em>If you never try God\u2019s way, you won\u2019t know whether it is truly better.<\/em><\/strong> The Bible is full of examples of humanity\u2019s failures, so simply looking at other Christians might not give you an accurate picture. Many un-Christ-like people call themselves Christians. God has not called us to be like them. <strong>We are called to model Jesus, and the best way to do this is to study firsthand what He was like!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>God has called us to believe in Jesus even if we can\u2019t see Him. God\u2019s promises never fail, and He has promised to return and bring all of His people home. In the context of this passage, God\u2019s people are those who have chosen to place their hope, faith, trust, and belief in Jesus to cover their sins!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, intentionally seek God first in your life and choose to place your faith, your hope, your trust, and your belief in Jesus even if you cannot see, touch, or hear Him. Choose to place your faith on the testimony of others, in the promises contained in the Bible, and on stepping into God\u2019s plan for your life. Only by living God\u2019s way will one truly discover if it is better.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, continue to pray and study the Bible for yourself to discover who Jesus truly was. The Bible calls us to be disciples of Jesus, and disciples of Jesus are people who reflect Him and His character. In order to know what Jesus was like, we must study Him, and the best place to prayerfully study Jesus is in the pages of the Bible. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or deviate away from where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>\r\nYear in John &#8211; Episode 48: When Jesus shows up to the group of disciples after His resurrection and breathes on them, discover why this is significant. Also, discover what happens when one disciple who was not present for this event says when finding out that he missed seeing Jesus.\r\n<\/p><p><strong>Join the discussion.<\/strong> Share your thoughts on this passage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Breath and Belief: John 20:19-31 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Breath and Belief: John 20:19-31 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reflectivebiblestudy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T10:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Cam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Cam\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"headline\":\"Breath and Belief: John 20:19-31\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-11-28T10:00:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1796,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Audio Journal Entries\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/\",\"name\":\"Breath and Belief: John 20:19-31 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-11-28T10:00:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/breath-and-belief-john-20-19-31\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Breath and Belief: John 20:19-31\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\",\"name\":\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"description\":\"Your Life.
