Luke 24:36-37 – Jesus Appears to Ten
As the two disciples that Jesus met on the road to Emmaus were sharing about what had happened Jesus appears in their midst. What great timing and staging. Imagine you are listening to an account of a friend and loved one being raised from the dead and then flash they appear in front of you. Jesus immediately addresses their fears. They felt they had seen a ghost. He says, “Peace be unto you.” Basically He tells them everything is o.k. “I am here.” When Jesus comes into the middle of our life a peace comes. It comes because He is the Prince of Peace, Luke explains what is happening to the apostles. They were two words, terrified and frightened. They thought they had seen a Spirit. Jesus comes to take care of our fears. Paul states in 2 Tim 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind. John says that perfect love casts out all fear. If that is that state of your life today or any part of this day, remember the Prince of Peace is here to take away your fear and give you His love, power and sanity.
