“He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22). He shows that not only is He the God who creates but, the God who recreates. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is not only true for those disciples who were present with Jesus at His resurrection; it is true for anybody who would follow Jesus. Immediately after His ascension, Jesus does the same thing for all disciples. At Pentecost we see that anybody who believes in Jesus through faith receives the Spirit of God.
