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.
