Thought For Today

(Jesus continued) “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” John 20:23

Lord after You breathed on Your disciples and said to them “Receive the Holy Spirit,” You told them the verse above. It sounds as if You gave them a special ability regarding sins. They were given the ability to forgive or not to forgive sins. I’m not sure what all of that meant and this is all we are told in John’s account. Perhaps we will learn more as we read on.

What I do know is that You left the Holy Spirit with us when You left this earth.

Thank You Lord for giving us Your Holy Spirit that helps us as we walk through this experience on earth.

Thank You for the power that is ours because of You.

Oh that we would keep our eyes fixed upon You and Your desires for our lives. It is then that we have peace and joy in our lives.

Thank You for Your unconditional love Lord. We are forgiven!

Thank You Lord.
