WEEKLY MEDITATION

Put your fingerThe joy and elation we see in the Acts, and even in Revelation, come from people who had found the way to believe in God unconditionally. Their fears were still very real. People in their lives were still sick. They were still persecuted, but their choice to believe anyway made a difference. Peter's shadow was enough to heal people. This is fantastic! It is Scripture's way of telling us that Peter's own doubt, cowardice, and lack of faith didn't prevent him from coming back to the Lord.
The faith that brought him back changed not only his life, but also the lives of those who were near him. Easter calls us to give in to our yearning for God. We may never fully understand, and life in this world will never be perfect, but faith does make a difference. We must avoid placing conditions on God. If we can just let God be God, and trust Him unconditionally despite reasons not to, the peace Jesus offers can be ours. With Jesus all things are possible!
