Weekly Devotion
WEEKLY DEVOTION

John 20:19-31 Devotional

In John 20:19-31 we encounter the disciples at a moment of fear, uncertainty, and longing. Locked away by the circumstances of grief and confusion after Jesus's crucifixion, they found themselves in a world that seemed to have lost all hope. Yet, in the midst of their locked doors and locked
hearts, the risen Jesus boldly appears, bringing a message of peace and a powerful new hope.
Jesus's words, "Peace be with you," resonate deeply because they offer more than just a greeting, they bestow a transformative peace that transcends human understanding.  At a time when the disciples' hearts were burdened by loss and doubt, Jesus brings reassurance that His resurrection is the beginning of a new reality, a reality where fear is replaced by faith, and despair gives way to divine hope.

God bless.
