The Challenge — Day 169
Today’s Scripture: John 20:11-31
[The end of the journey is very near. Click the reference to read online, or perhaps you have your Bible handy by now.]
The disciples experienced a terrible loss. A great confusion. The one they believed to be the Messiah had been crucified and buried. Their hope buried along with Him.
In fear of being found out, maybe even being next, they locked themselves away from the world.
We too as Believers experience times of terrible loss. Times we’ve trusted, hoped, only to find ourselves faced with disaster. Sudden death. A terminal diagnosis. The betrayal of a loved one.
Confused. Afraid. We lock ourselves away. From the world. From community. From Him.
Or at least we try.
Today’s passage shows God as One who cannot… will not… be locked out from the lives of His disciples.
