John 20:19-31
"Peace be with you." These were the first words Jesus spoke to his disciples after the resurrection — and they needed to hear it. They were hiding behind locked doors, afraid, and paralyzed by guilt. Sound familiar? The world today hasn't changed much: war, oppression, fear still surround us. But the question remains: have we changed? Our faith calls us to be more than passive believers. We are called to be active agents of Christ's peace in this world. The only way anyone can see the Risen Christ today is through one another. Like Thomas, the world is watching. So let’s ask ourselves: do they see transformation in us, or do we still live behind locked doors? Are we living like people who have truly been transformed? The good news is alive—and it calls us to be agents of peace.
