Gospel of John - John 20.19-23

Jobey McGinty

With Jesus suddenly gone the disciples go into hiding, fearful of being exposed and forgetting what they have been called to live out.  The doubts are creeping in and the fear starts to lead to unbelief, but then Jesus walks in, through a locked door, and interrupts everything.  We, too, can allow the fears of life to lead us into unbelief and hiding, not living out the lives of love and sacrifice He has called us to.  If it were up to us, we would likely stay in those locked rooms of fear, but thankfully Jesus goes where He pleases, and our fear cannot keep Him out.  If you are part of Jesus' flock, nothing can or will keep Him from working in and through your life!
