From Fear to Freedom - 2nd Sunday of Easter

Here is the best antidote that I know of to the fear that so easily besets us. It is to experience the presence of the Risen Christ--to see the marks of His love for us in His hands and side--to hear Him say, as He said to those early disciples, “Peace be with you.” The disciples huddled behind closed doors because they felt abandoned and because they put fear before faith. But they were not abandoned. Christ can penetrate the closed doors of our lives!
