Using saved ggplot2 figure with shiny in r

I want to plot a density plot of figure save it and render it in the shiny app. What I want to add to the figure dynamically is a line from input showing where the new entered variable lies in the density plot: I saved the ggplot figure from iris data as :

library(ggplot2)
twoClassIrisSepalLength <- subset(iris[1:100,], select=c("Species","Sepal.Length"))

twoClassIrisSepalLength$Species <- factor(twoClassIrisSepalLength$Species)

g <- ggplot(twoClassIrisSepalLength,aes(x=Sepal.Length, fill=Species)) 
     + geom_density(alpha=0.5) + scale_size_area()  

g <- g+theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), 
axis.text=element_text(size=14),plot.title = element_text(size = rel(1.5), 
colour = "black"),    axis.title=element_text(size=16,face="bold"),
panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
legend.justification = c(1, 1), legend.position = c(1, 1))

save(g,file="ggplot_sepal_length_density.rda")

When I add an intercept 

g <- g+geom_vline(aes(xintercept= 27%%7),  
     colour="#BB0000", linetype="dashed", size=2)

I get the figure as I want as shown below:

enter image description here

I want to draw that darkred line in value 6 dynamically in R shiny. Now in shiny my ui.R looks like:

library(ggplot2)
shinyUI(pageWithSidebar(
  headerPanel('Density plots'),
  sidebarPanel(
    numericInput('sepal_length', 'Sepal Length', 3,
                 min = 1, max = 7)
  ),
  mainPanel(
    plotOutput('plot1')
  )
))

and my server.R is 

shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {

output$plot1 <- renderPlot({
    load("ggplot_sepal_length_density.rda")

    g <- g+geom_vline(aes(xintercept= as.numeric(input$sepal_length %% 7)), 
colour="#BB0000", linetype="dashed", size=2)
    g

  })

})

When I execute the program I get an error: Error: object 'input' not found

When I give a specific value (not input$sepal_length) like 5 it plots as it should, when I comment out the intercept line it renders the plot, without the redline as expected. When I change my renderPlot to renderText and print value of input$sepal_length it prints the entered value. Could you please guide where I went wrong?

Your using mapping (aes) to insert a variable to `geom_vline? change:

g <- g+geom_vline(aes(xintercept= as.numeric(input$sepal_length %% 7)), 
colour="#BB0000", linetype="dashed", size=2)

To:

g <- g+geom_vline(xintercept= as.numeric(input$sepal_length %% 7), 
colour="#BB0000", linetype="dashed", size=2)

and it should work.
