The Affable Christ*

John 20: 19-23

 

Ever Ready to Certify

. . . Peace be unto you. 20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you:—verse 19d- 21a

 

Ever Ready to Sanctify

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. — verse 21

 

Ever Ready to Qualify

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. — verse 22, 23
