Week Three

Part 3: When Peace Goes Unnoticed

Our weekly selection of passages invite us to reflect on what happens when peace is overlooked in the midst of fear. So then what of Joy waiting in the wings knowing fear has been defeated?

Read John 20: 1-2

The unnoticed peace of an empty tomb. 

The Prince of Peace had arisen but no one noticed. Do we wait long enough to read the room, encounter the peace, or do we jump to conclusions?

Read John 20: 3-10

The unnoticed headwear. 

What do we learn about the Prince of Peace from the folded head cloth? Why did it go unnoticed by John?

Read John 11: 11-20 & Hebrew 12: 1-3

The joy that flows from the peace.

Mary running to tell the disciples and us running the race that has been set forth for us!

What can we gain from reading these two passages side by side?
