Breath Quote by James W. Goll
““the breath of God, and then in turn exhaling onto others the breath of life they have received from their Creator. This is what our Messiah did as well. After His resurrection He appeared to His disciples, who were hiding for fear. He said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). Then Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (verse 22).””
