Mon, 03/28/16, Easter Day #2, "Day of Praise"
John 20:21 - "Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you.'"
On the day of his resurrection, the word "again" is just as important in Jesus's encouragement to us as is the word "peace." Very simply, when Jesus says, "Peace be with you" again (and therefore twice) to the disciples, then he's saying that he's determined to give peace to them and to us. Wow!
Friends, with whatever is going on in your life, no matter what is unsettled, no matter how big the storm, you can take this to the bank: Jesus is determined to give you peace in the midst of your storm.
Easter is not a day; it's a reality. And the peace of Christ in the midst of your storms and difficulties is as real as your storms and difficulties. Jesus conquered the ultimate storm, namely, the penalty of the sin of the whole world. So, he is more than capable of breaking into your storm and imparting peace to you too!
Trust him and you'll see!
Praise God!
