Luke 24:36
He stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
How many times are we tempted to say, “I told you so” when we are right and someone else is wrong? Our egos always want to come out on top and win the argument. Or how many times have we rubbed it in when someone else is caught red-handed or when they do us wrong? The Risen Christ had every reason to scold His followers for failing Him…but He didn’t. Instead…Jesus offered them peace. This is only possible when the ego…or “false self”…is put aside. What a different world it would be if we followed this example! May each of us be a channel of Christ’s peace today.
