Chapter 20 of John is the resurrection. Jesus’ followers instead of capitalizing on the promise of Jesus and proclaiming the good news that Jesus said he would rise from the dead, decide to go into hiding. They were afraid of the enemies of Truth. But, Jesus, come and chastise them. He simply chooses to ‘hang’ with them and then offers this message. “PEACE BE WITH YOU.” Don’t live in Fear….Live in Peace today! If you choose to hang with Jesus, you get peace, if you merely hang with other Christians you might conclude your day having ‘lived’ or more accurately survived in fear. Live in Peace…Live with and for Jesus!
John 20:19 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!”
