Reconciliation between one another is difficult to obtain. But the offer Jesus makes to his disciples on the first resurrection evening is far bigger than mere reconciliation between each other. His greeting, ‘peace be with you’, speaks of a restored relationship with God himself. It is from this peace between God and man that true peace can flow to all.
Peace through the resurrection of Jesus
John 20:19-23
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
