And with that [Jesus] breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (John 20:22-23)
Forgiving sins is serious business. Not forgiving sins is very serious business. Is it any wonder that Jesus imparted the Holy Spirit to his followers before investing them with the responsibility for forgiving sins?
