THEN JESUS CAME
“Then Jesus came…and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace be unto you’” (John 20:26).
In the middle of broken lives and difficult situations, Jesus comes and changes are made. The Bible is filled with events in which the appearance of Jesus brought hope and healing to people’s lives.
- While Jesus prayed on shore, His disciples struggled to row across the Sea of Galilee. They were weary and filled with fear. Then Jesus came, walking on the sea (Mark 6:48). He spoke peace to their troubled hearts and made the winds to cease.
- Simon Peter’s mother-in-law lay in bed, ill with a fever. The Jesus came to Peter’s house (Matthew 8:14). He touched her hand, and the fever left.
- Mary and Martha were mourning the death of their brother, Lazarus. Then Jesus came to Bethany (John 11:17). He restored Lazarus to life that day.
- The disciples huddled in fear in an upper room in Jerusalem, afraid for their lives. Then Jesus came into their midst (John 20:19). Fear and despair melted away in the light of Jesus’ presence.
In times of despair, sorrow, and sickness, Jesus comes to us today. And when He comes, He brings peace, joy, healing, and a brand new life for all who will believe in Him.
