Third Sunday of Easter
Jesus asks the disciples in today’s gospel, and he asks us, "Why are you troubled?” Along with the disciples, you too may be thinking, “Haven’t you seen the terrible things that have been happening” over the past year? Jesus responded to his frightened disciples that they were not to stay in the upper room – that place of fear and confusion. Rather Jesus sent his disciples out into the world. Many things have caused discouragement and fear for us - his current day disciples, yet these things give us even more reason to rely on Christ. What holds you back from sharing the good news? Take time this week to reflect on this gospel. How will you be a witness of Christ’s saving love?
