“Peace Be with You”

According to the Gospel of John, the very first words that Jesus spoke to his disciples after his resurrection were, “Peace be with you.” Why? Because in spite of the triumph of the resurrection, they still lived in a world saturated with fear. We know something about that too, don’t we? We’re Easter people and yet we still live in a world where fear and darkness are realities. We’ll look at why we—and our world—need Jesus’ words more than ever.
