What if the very doubt that feels like weakness is actually God's invitation to experience His peace in a deeper way? Chaplain Colin reveals how Jesus meets the disciples—and meets us—not with answers first, but with peace that transcends circumstances. In John 20, we witness a profound truth: while the disciples hide behind locked doors, paralyzed by fear despite knowing Jesus is alive, Christ breaks through their barriers with one simple declaration: "Peace be with you." Colin illuminates how Jesus doesn't offer clarity before peace, but peace before clarity, showing His wounds as the ultimate proof that the worst thing that could happen—betrayal, suffering, death—couldn't defeat Him. This means the worst thing that could happen to you isn't the end if you belong to Him. Colin challenges us to stop waiting for certainty before surrender, reminding us that we encounter Jesus not by seeing first, but by trusting what He's already revealed. Like Thomas, we must move from demanding conditions to declaring "My Lord and my God"—surrendering control to experience the life Christ offers. The Christian life doesn't wait for full clarity; it moves on what God has already shown us, finding peace on the other side of surrender.
