—John 20:19-23
by: Richard Crouch.
I can only imagine the peace the disciples must have felt when Jesus was standing in their presence. Seeing the holes in his hands and the hole in his side would have removed any doubt that he was real. Sometimes it seems that that kind of peace and assurance is unattainable. We allow fear and doubt to creep in through holes in our armor. However, that peace and assurance is attainable through the Holy Spirit. When we draw close to God, and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, teach and empower, God is quick to respond. The Holy Spirit has carried me through many difficult situations.
