Christ
is Risen! Alleluia!
In
the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Last week, you heard how Jesus
appeared to His disciples in the locked room. And not just once, but
twice. He broke into their sad reverie and breathed His peace upon
them. Then He told them not to just sit there. “Do not be
afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will
see Me,” He told the women
(Mt. 28:10). And so the disciples went to Galilee, and there they
waited for the Lord.
You can almost picture their restlessness. They were not afraid,
because Jesus had given them His pervading peace, but they were not
at ease. After all, their fear is gone, but so is their Lord. What
will happen now? Go to Galilee. Hurry up and wait. The Spirit will
come, someday. Eventually you will see Jesus. And then what?
