On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
1. What is currently disrupting peace in your life?
2. What ways do you try to establish peace?
3. Do Jesus’ words to the disciples “Peace be with you” seem personal, powerful, possible?
4. What most often prevents you from serving others?
5. Who do you need to forgive? Who do you need to ask forgiveness from?
6. PRAY that you would encounter the resurrected Jesus today.
