Jn. 20: 19-29: The disciples are
seen bundling in a secret place for fear of Jews. The ‘Jews’ here means the
hostile powers that work against Jesus. To these fearful disciples Jesus brings
transformation, leading the disciples from the darkness of fear, unbelief and
distress into the lights of peace, joy of the risen Lord and the Spirit. He
breathes on them as if he is making them of a new creation, new humanity from
the fearful apostles. Jesus does so again and again even today.
