Peace be with you

John 20:19 "When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the [religious authorities], Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."" Today, I too offer you peace. You may have somehow locked yourself away in fear of the religious authorities of today. But just as the Risen Christ offered the disciples freedom from that fear, I too offer you release. Regardless of your belief system or lack thereof, peace is freely yours today and always.
