hi there

Friday June 13^th,  John 20: 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. The words may have been Peace be with you, but the image in my minds is one of the hair standing up on the backs of every neck in that room, scared out of their wits that they may be next.   If we go back to the Acts 2 lesson where the followers of Christ were all huddled together against the world, when the spirit of God came upon them, in spite of their fear, they eventually went out into the world.  When the Peace of Christ comes into your life, you move from being acted upon to acting upon.   You move from hiding behind the closed doors of comfort to being sent out where you recognize the spirit of God not only within you by recognizing the spirit of God in others.
