Transformed From Broken to Whole, John 20: 19-31

4/19/2009

Passing the peace?  Sounds like a hippy high five, but really it’s a holy exercise.  Jesus offering of peace to his disciples after the resurrection was a transformational act.  I can’t say enough about our need for transformation as broken and wearied people.  I’m here to tell you that such brokenness will not be healed by watching ten episodes of Dr. Phil nor…, should I say it, Oprah.  No, what is characteristic of our lives needs a medicine that only one Physician has; He is the risen one, Jesus our Lord.  He is the balm of Gilead, our mighty God.  The truth is that when He says to us, “peace be with you,” life is never the same.  I hope to see you Sunday.
