My Lord and My God: John 20:19-29
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you!
Doors locked. Fear thick. The disciples huddled, expecting arrest. Then suddenly—Jesus. Inside. Standing among them. The locked doors no barrier.
Peace be with you. The greeting they needed most. Not rebuke for abandonment, not condemnation for denial. Peace.
After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
