On the evening of the first day of the week, Jesus found his disciples frightened, shame‑ridden and huddling behind locked doors. But instead of condemnation, He gave them a word of peace, proving that He was indeed risen from the dead, The resurrection turned cowardice into courage, guilt into forgiveness, and hiding into witness; this message calls you out from fear and secrecy to meet the risen Lord, receive his peace and pardon, and go boldly to live and tell of his victory.
