‘Jesus Christ: Never Ending Love, Mercy & Forgiveness!’

After the darkness of the cross and the silence of the tomb, Jesus returns — not with power or judgment, but with a simple greeting: “... Peace be with you.” (John 20:21).

He stands before His disciples, who are hidden in fear, and shows them His hands and His side — the marks of His suffering. Not to accuse. Not to remind them of their failures. But to reveal something greater: love that has overcome everything. His wounds are no longer signs of pain, but signs of mercy. And in that moment, fear gives way to joy.

‘Thoughts’

We often try to hide our wounds — our mistakes, our regrets, our past. But Jesus does the opposite. He shows His wounds and speaks peace. True peace does not come from pretending nothing happened. It comes from knowing we are loved, even in our weakness. What if I allowed Christ to meet me in my wounds — not with judgment, but with mercy?

Let us pray:

Lord Jesus,

You come to me with peace, not judgment,

Enter the place in my heart that needs healing,

And fill me with Your Mercy.

Help me to receive Your peace and share it with others.

Amen.
