I am saved from the darkness of fear, and enter into the light of a new presence and peace.
On the evening of that first day of the week, when
the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish
leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with
you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and
side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As
the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed
on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins,
their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven” (John 20:19 –23).
Be wise today and always - accept God's peace for now and all eternity.
