[Sunday] Easter Peace - Comfort Comfort
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Easter Peace
Can you think of a time you hid from something difficult? What was it, and how did you eventually move forward?
Read John 20:1-23. The disciples were hiding after the resurrection. Why do you think they might be hiding, even though they know Jesus has risen?
Jesus shows up not hiding anything, leading with his wounds. How does the concept of Jesus’ sacrifice and his wounds change the way you view forgiveness and comfort that comes from Jesus?
Jesus encourages us to forgive others. Filled with the Spirit of Christ, how can you bring that peace and forgiveness to others?
This Christmas, let’s see Jesus as the one who came for us and is with us, and let our hearts grow—just like the Grinch’s—so we can go out, celebrate, and share this good news with all “those” people.
