A Thought for the week
Week of April 27
 
While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” Luke 24:36
 
When Jesus meets the disciples after the resurrection, he gives the greeting “Peace be with you.” This is not only a greeting but a gift. Jesus is giving peace to the disciples. After all that has happened the disciples are hiding in fear and confusion. Now, Jesus breaks in and gives peace. In life we need the peace of Christ. There are many people like the disciples. As people of Christ, we are ambassadors of peace to others. With this in mind, do we show the Peace of Christ for people who are in fear and confusion?
