Belonging

The Gospel focuses on the peace of Jesus Christ’s resurrection—a divine gift sought amidst fears and anxieties. True peace is revealed in John 20:19-31, where Jesus says, “peace be with you,” reconciling us to God. This peace restores our relationship with God, sustains us through life’s challenges, and offers hope for eternal peace as beloved children under His grace.

Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a cornerstone of Christian faith that offers hope for eternal life and transforms our lives. This historical event, evidenced by the empty tomb, the testimony of women, and the disciples’ courage, fulfills our longing for purpose, belonging, and restoration, connecting us to God, His redemptive plan, and fellow believers.
