Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christ

DAY 93 OF 98

Commands of Christ: 91 

Receive the Holy Spirit. 

This is the first post-resurrection appearance to the inner circle of disciples as a group (except for Thomas). This is a precursor of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given more broadly to His followers. Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to the disciples in the context of sending them to continue His ministry of announcing the Kingdom of His grace and peace. This empowering and this ministry were not optional. The Spirit was necessary for carrying out this ministry. The same is true for each of us today. We are called and we are empowered and commanded.

About this Plan

Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christ

Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
