## Resource

Why did Jesus breathe on His disciples in John 20?   It is one of the strangest moments in the Gospels, but it may be one of the most important.   In this episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explores the connection between Jesus breathing on His disciples, God breathing life into Adam in Genesis 2, the Holy Spirit, new creation, and the work of Christ.   Was Jesus intentionally echoing the creation of Adam?   Was this a preview of Pentecost?   And what does it reveal about salvation, resurrection, and the new humanity in Christ?
