You've all seen it, and you've all done it; picked up one of those ubiquitous little weeds, that every owner of a patch of grass longs to eradicate, and you have done your part to help spread the seeds to the four corners of the earth, perpetuating dandelions for generations to come!
I see this image as a wonderful image of church!
==============================
John records for us a powerful moment in the life of the first disciples. It is one of those unforgettable moments, where something surreal happens, it seems almost weird at the time, but you never forget it and it takes root in your mind...
Jesus breathes on His disciples.
What do you think that might have been like? To have Jesus breathe on you?
And then he says, "Receive the Holy Spirit, as my Father has sent me, now I am sending you!"
==============================
Jesus is the one holding in his hand, with wide-eyed excitement, a dandelion of twelve disciples; and it is His breathe that scatters those seeds to the winds...
