Peace in a Fearful World
"Peace in a Fearful World"
Scripture: John 20:19-23
In this first message of our series "After the Resurrection, Now What?" Matthew explored how the risen Christ brings peace to our fearful world.
The sermon examined the disciples' situation on that first Easter evening—hiding behind locked doors in fear—and how Jesus miraculously appeared among them, offering His peace. We saw how Jesus didn't scold them for their fear but instead met them where they were, showing His wounds as proof of His victory.
We learned that Christ's peace is more than the absence of conflict; it's the wholeness of being reconciled to God. This peace isn't just a feeling but a transformative presence that changes our perspective on our circumstances.
Jesus didn't just bring peace to comfort the disciples but to commission them. "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you" reminds us that we aren't just recipients of peace but bearers of peace to others. To fulfill this mission, Jesus provided the power of the Holy Spirit, breathing new life into His followers.
The message concluded with three practical applications:
In our fearful world, we serve a risen Savior who steps into our locked rooms, speaks peace to our hearts, gives purpose to our lives, and empowers us for His mission.
