 Welcome! "Peace be with you." The risen Lord Jesus Christ appears to His sorrowful and confused Disciples. He is risen , indeed! They are overjoyed and Jesus gives them His own authority to preach and teach and forgive the sins of all believers and withhold this blessed gift from all who refuse to repent. Thomas, who so bravely desired to go to Jerusalem and die with Jesus, is not present at this joyful occasion. He refuses to believe unless he sees for himself. Graciously, Jesus appears again when Thomas is with them and shows Himself once more as risen Lord and Savior of all. Again He says, "Peace be with you." Jesus knows Thomas and his doubts. He knows all about ours, too. He builds up our faith and trust in Him through the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments. In His resurrection life, Jesus brings you His peace, peace that passes understanding. Hear Him! "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Christ is working at Christ the King - Come join us! TAGS: Service Announcements
