Why Are You Hiding?

On the evening of the first day of the week, Jesus found his disciples frightened, shame‑ridden and huddling behind locked doors. But instead of condemnation, He gave them a word of peace, proving that He was indeed risen from the dead, The resurrection turned cowardice into courage, guilt into forgiveness, and hiding into witness; this message calls you out from fear and secrecy to meet the risen Lord, receive his peace and pardon, and go boldly to live and tell of his victory.
