Jesus Walks Into Locked Rooms
Read John 20:19
(19) 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 discovering the empty tomb, the disciples continue to hide behind locked doors.
They’re afraid.
They’re confused.
They don’t know what’s coming next.
But then suddenly, Jesus is standing in the room with them.
He doesn’t knock.
He doesn’t wait for the door to open.
He simply shows up.
And the first thing He says is, “Peace be with you.”
And the same Jesus who walked into that locked room can still walk into the locked places of our lives.
The places where we’re afraid.
The places where we’re uncertain.
The places where we feel stuck.
And when He does, He brings peace.
