Jesus Offer Peace Over Doubt

Shirley Baptist Church Solihull, Sermons

'Peace be with you'. These were the words the resurrected Jesus shared with his disciples when he suddenly appeared amongst them in Luke 24. Peace be with you!!??? What did he mean? How could the disciples possibly feel peace when he who had died was suddenly alive. They were terrified and yet, just fifteen verses later, as they witnessed Jesus ascending to the heavens, they are described as having great joy. How did this happen? How did they go from fear, doubt and uncertainty to peace, faith and joy in fifteen verses? It was through three keys to peace which Jesus offered to the disciples two thousand years ago and which, thankfully, He still offers to us today.
