Today, we reflect on the moment when the risen Christ entered the locked room where the disciples were hiding in fear. Despite knowing about Jesus’ resurrection, they were trapped by doubt, uncertainty, and anxiety — just as we sometimes are. Jesus came to them, bringing peace, breathing courage into their fear, and inviting them into bold faith. We, too, are often locked in by fears: of failure, of rejection, of inadequacy. But Christ stands at the door of our hearts, knocking gently, offering life, courage, and mission. His resurrection is not a one-time event, but an ongoing call to step out of fear into faithful, fearless living.
Key Takeaways:
- Fear often keeps us “locked in,” but Christ steps into our fears with peace.
- Faith grows when we experience Christ personally and invite Him into our lives.
- The resurrection transforms fear into boldness and doubt into mission.
- We are sent, like the disciples, to share the joy of the risen Lord with the world.
Reflection: Are you willing to open the locked doors of your heart and let Jesus transform your fear into bold faith?
