‘While they were still talking about this, Jesus Himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ (Luke 24 vs 36)
The disciples were in bits. Their whole lives had collapsed down around them. It was about three years since each of them had first met Jesus and heard His call ‘Follow me.’ They had left their work, left their families, left their home towns and followed. It had been a time in their lives like no other, ups downs, moments of faith, times of confusion, but always Jesus was with them.
