Peace

“That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”John‬ ‭20‬:‭19‬, ‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Mimagine the fear that the disciples were in and grief. They thought they had lost their Lord and feared that the same people who crucified their Lord would come for them. Now, here was Jesus standing in their midst telling them to not fear!

The disciples had a wrong perspective of f Jesus before the cross. They thought He was going to redeem Israel and defeat the Romans. They expected to rule and reign with Him in authority and here they were in fear hiding, and the resurrected Jesus shows up and tells them not to fear. I imagine there would have been a few accelerated heart rates among them. 

Jesus is saying, “I am sending you as the Father sent me!” They knew what happened to Jesus. I imagine they were excited and fearful at the same time. Their Lord had indeed risen from the dead. What did that mean to them? What would it mean to others who had opposed Him?

The Lord is constantly filling me with vision and boldness. Then leaving me to walk it out. I have just been in hospital with a suspected mini-stroke. I had a battle in the night and determined that Jesus had to heal me and bring me through. He is! Then He visits me with fresh vision. I catch it because I am visionary. I’ve boldly written to people at home for support. I am waiting for a response.
I know I am being sent! I know God has a plan for Nepal and I know I am willing and available. Now I need money, lots of money to build a ministry and a business. If it is GOD he will provide.
