Jesus Offers Proof and Peace | The Second Sunday of Easter

The first Easter didn't start out with the pomp and joy that we associate with Easter celebrations today. On the evening of that first Easter Sunday, there was tentative joy, but also confusion, fear, and doubt. Jesus' first words as He appeared to his disciples were "Peace be with you," and it was exactly what they needed to hear. He gave them more than assuring words, He gave them tangible proof of His resurrection, which melted away all of their doubts and fears. Jesus also shows up in our midst and brings us the same peace he brought to his disciples. It happens so often and in such ordinary ways that we might skip right past it without recognizing it.

Based on John 20: 19-31.
