John 20:1–21:25 | Peace Be Unto You: Believe, Be Sent, Follow Me

The crucified Jesus is risen as Lord and God; through John’s written testimony he calls us to believe that he is the Christ, the Son of God, receive his peace, bear witness, be restored in love, and follow him faithfully. Where do I identify most in this passage: Mary’s grief, the disciples’ fear, Thomas’s doubt, or Peter’s failure? Scripture: John 20:1–21:25 Chapters: 0:00 Peace Be Unto You: Believe, Be Sent, Follow Me 0:13 Finished Work. Risen Lord. 1:25 While It Was Still Dark 2:36 He Called Her Name 3:50 Peace Behind Locked Doors 5:01 Peace Becomes Sending 6:18 My Lord and My God 7:34 These Are Written 8:45 Breakfast With the Risen Lord 9:57 Do You Love Me? 11:19 You Follow Me Discipleship takeaway: Believe, Receive Peace, Love, and Follow Believe the written testimony, receive the peace of the Risen Lord, and let restored love become obedient service and focused following. Reflection: • What does Thomas’s confession, “My Lord and my God,” require me to believe, repent of, or worshipfully surrender? • What fear or failure needs to hear Jesus’ word, “Peace be with you”? • Who are the people Christ has entrusted to my care, and what would it look like to feed, tend, or serve them this week? • Where am I tempted to compare my path with another disciple instead of hearing Jesus say, “You follow me”? Prayer: Father, thank you for the written testimony of John. Thank you that Jesus, crucified and risen, is truly Lord and God, the Christ, the Son of God. Holy Spirit, lead us into faith, repentance, peace, witness, restored love, and obedient following. Restore what has failed, strengthen what is weak, and keep our eyes on the Risen Lord. Amen.
