John 20:19-23

19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

In 2023, 76 anti-trans bills have already been passed, and there are currently 370 active bills. Pentecost reminds us that Christ's Spirit of peace is not with safe Christians in comfortable churches, but with those in locked rooms who fear for their lives. Pentecost invites us to see that it is the trans community to whom Christ offers the Spirit and who becomes the first of a new world full of Her peace and love.
