"In The Midst"

A Blast From The Word

“In The Midst”

John 20:19
Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, F108 for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."


The disciples were behind locked doors and were afraid. They didn’t know what to do-sooooo-they were hiding. Are you going through something in your life that is like being in a pit with no way out? You can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. You can’t even see the tunnel! Who knew Jesus could get through locked doors! The disciples didn’t. But, wait! They see someone-someone-wait, they knew the door was locked! There He is! Standing in the very midst of them! In their very midst! Could it be Jesus?? He showed them His hands and His side. Then He said something so profound, He said “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Let Jesus breath on you today. You don’t think He is able to get you out of the pit and so much more? He gave the disciples peace in the midst of their storm. He is in your midst of your life and in the midst of your storm. Have His peace that passes all understanding. Today let Him give it to you. Be thankful for His peace this Thanksgiving.

Thank You, Father for being in the very midst of my life. I want Your peace in everything I do and say and everywhere I go. Amen

We gather together to ask the Lord’s Blessing
He chastens and hastens His will to make known
