When we look at our Gospel lesson for today we see that John provides us with three main topics or events.
The first event is about Jesus appearing to the disciples, the second event is about the disciple Thomas and his unbelief, and lastly there is the purpose for the book of John.
Now all three of these are rich in theology and to cover all of them thoroughly would take time that we simply do not have right now and would leave all us confused.
So, while we will look closely at one of these topics, I encourage you all in your personal Bible study time to study the other two.
With that said, I would like you to your attention to the first five verses of our Gospel lesson.
Verses 19-23.
For it is in in these verses that John tells us about the amazing event of Jesus appearing to the disciples.
An event that should not only leave us in awe of our risen Lord and Savior, but also an event that provides us with one of, if not the most foundational confession we have, the Office of the Keys.
But, I am getting ahead of myself, let’s take a step back and look at these verses in our Gospel lesson.

Now in these verses John shows us what happened on the evening of the first Easter.
However, we must first remember the events we heard about in the readings last week.
In the morning we were told that Mary Magdalene, Peter and another unnamed disciple went to Jesus tomb and found it empty.
However, after finding it empty the disciples went home leaving Mary at the tomb by herself.
Mary then sees someone she thinks is the gardener, but soon finds out it is actually Jesus and he tells her to go and tell the disciples that He will be ascending to God the Father soon.
To which Mary happily obliges.
After this we are not told by John what happens the rest of the day, but instead he picks up the narrative again in the evening.
Only this time things are a little bit different.
We enter the story in verse 19 and are told that the disciples have locked themselves in a room because they feared being persecuted by the authority figures of the Jews for being disciples of Jesus.
Which, if you think about it makes sense.
I mean 3 days earlier they witnessed Jesus, they’re Lord and Teacher being tried, beaten and then crucified on a cross.
It would only make sense for those leaders to go after them next.

But despite their fears and the locked door, Jesus appears to the disciples in the middle of the room and changes the entire feel of the narrative.
He says to them “Peace be with you.”
Now this is not “Peace be with you” in the sense of calming their fears.
No, this phrase “Peace be with you” is a reference back to and when Jesus promised both peace and the Holy Spirit to the disciples.
This peace is a pronouncement of blessing and forgiveness upon the disciples.
One that tells them that the eschatological peace promised throughout the Old Testament has now been made accessible to them through Him.
He then shows the disciples the wounds on His hands and his side.
He does this to show them both that it is really Him, standing amidst them in the flesh and to show them the source of the peace that He brings to them.
For it is as the prophet Isaiah says in , “with His wounds we are healed.”
Only then does the atmosphere in the room change.
Only then do we see the disciples fear replaced with gladness.
