Gospel and Sermon Text: John 20:19-31. Connected to Peace.

God made us for connections—-with our parents, spouses, families, friends, and communities and he blesses us in many ways through these connections.

But there is one connection that clearly towers over all these other connections as far as it’s value and importance—-our connection to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

When we are connected to him, we are connected to peace.
