“While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see: a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” (Luke 24:36 & 39 NIV)
Beloved people of God, this Easter, we celebrate the breathtaking moment when the King returned, not to a throne of gold, but to a room filled with fearful disciples. In Luke 24:36-39, Jesus steps into their confusion and speaks the words every trembling heart longs to hear: “Peace be unto you.”
Easter does more than remind us of His first return from the grave. The King who came back to His disciples in resurrection power will one day come back for His Church in triumphant majesty.
May the King of Kings step into your confusion to grant you peace. May the peace of the risen Christ calm every storm around you. May His presence strengthen your faith, and His victory empower you to live boldly until the day the King appears again in glory. Christ is risen. The King has returned. And the King is coming again. Happy Easter!
Rev. Moses A. Sodeinde
