Sermon Series: The Christ of a Comeback

Sermon Title: A Comeback from Fear

Reading: John 20:19-23

The disciples huddled behind locked doors, paralyzed by fear even though Christ had risen. How often do we live the same way—knowing Sunday’s victory while carrying Friday’s fears? Jesus didn’t wait for them to unlock their hearts; He entered their locked space with peace. Today, recognize where you’ve locked yourself in—fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown. Christ meets you there, not with condemnation, but with His scarred hands extended in compassion. His wounds remind us: what crucified Him couldn’t keep Him down. Whatever has you locked in cannot lock Him out. Receive His peace today. You’re living in resurrection reality now.

Reflection:

• What “Friday fears” am I still carrying in my “Sunday reality”?
