On the evening of Easter Day, the disciples aren’t celebrating—they’re hiding. Locked behind closed doors, fear and uncertainty still have the final word. But into the middle of their fear, Jesus appears with a message: “Peace be with you.”In John 20:19–31, we see that resurrection doesn’t just meet us at the empty tomb—it enters our locked rooms, our fears, and our doubts. Jesus doesn’t wait for perfect faith. He speaks peace into fear, breathes purpose into confusion, and offers grace to Thomas in his questioning.This Sunday, we reflect on the powerful truth that faith doesn’t require perfect circumstances—it requires a Savior who still shows up. Even when we’re locked away in fear, Jesus steps into the middle of our lives and calls us to believe, to breathe again, and to move forward into resurrection life.
