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.
