THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
This is the day the LORD hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Acts 2:14, 22-32
1 Peter 1:3-9
John 20:19-31
Psalm 16:5-11
As the ten disciples were huddled behind locked doors they sought to put the pieces together, they wanted more evidence than an empty grave and reports from others.
Then suddenly the Easter glory broke upon them, Jesus stood visibly in their midst, even though the doors to the house were locked. He greeted them with, "Peace be with you!" Then to show them that it was He they were encountering, not a ghost, He presented the ultimate proof, His hands punctured and torn by the nails and His side gashed open by the spear. The disciples were overjoyed and their fear and doubt melted away.
When your troubles and doubts look to big and your talents and resources too small, how can you be sure that all things will turn out for your good? The one who died for you and lives again says, "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matt. 28:20
Christian friends, Whatever you need to know for sure, your living Savior has it. Keep listening to His Words. He will calm your fears, overcome your doubts and bring joy and peace to your heart.
That night the apostles met in fear;
Among them their Master dear,
And said, "My peace be with you hear."
ALLELUIA!
PRAY with me--Grant, almighty God, that we who have celebrated the mystery of the LORD'S resurrection may by the help of Your grace bring forth the fruits thereof in our life and conduct. Amen
