The Resurrection brings New Life through Jesus.
When Jesus appeared to the Disciples he breathed on them and said: "'Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:22 (NRSV)
This is the Nephesh the Breath of Life that God breathed into Adam.
It is the air that we breath.
It is the wind that stirs the trees.
It is the oxygen that enlivens our hearts.
And enables us to love.
It is all around us.
It is within us.
It enables us to live.
