"Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord" (John 20:19-20).
After the crucifixion of Jesus the disciples, who had trusted in Jesus as the messiah, became confused and afraid. And on the first day of the week, when he had promised that he would rise again, they were assembled together. But this was no Sunday worship service. They were hiding in fear. But then Jesus appeared in their midst. And when they saw him and knew that he was alive, these sad disciple became glad disciples. What seemed to be the greatest tragedy of the lives was actually the greatest triumph. Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light. Keep fighting, keep trusting and keeping believing.
