Pilgrim Priest Fr. Joel Sember

The Risen Jesus wants to give you His peace, a peace the world cannot give. Let’s look at five places he wants to give you peace. Then we consider three practical ways that we can all experience a little more peace.

At the resurrection of the dead on the last day, our wounds will all be healed. So why does the Risen Jesus still have wounds? The Healer who was wounded so that you could be made whole. Show him your wounds.

We feel inadequate because we were never built to be spiritually independent. Deep down we still need our Daddy, and he's right here for us. Jesus shows us what our life could look like if we stopped pretending to be grown-ups.

You are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for you. Jesus is willing to not only trade his life for yours, but to offer his life as a painful and bloody sacrifice. Do we find ourselves asking, "What's the minimum amount I need to fast?”

Time is a spiral, moving back over the same ground again and again but in new ways. Jesus is a present reality, the one constant in our changing world. He's right here working through my hands and yours. Allow Jesus to wash your feet today.

How many follow Jesus when Christianity is popular, but as soon as we see the cross coming, we run away into the night? Are you willing to lay down your life for the One who laid down his life for you?
