🔑 Forgiveness is the Key
📖 John 20:19–31
📍 Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, WI

“Peace be with you.” With these words, the risen Christ steps once again into locked rooms and fearful hearts—not with judgment, but with mercy. Just as He stood among the disciples, He now stands among us through His Word, through Baptism, and in His Body and Blood. He brings not condemnation but the keys to unlock fear, guilt, and even death itself.

This Sunday, we join Thomas and all who have doubted, struggled, and longed for peace. The One with nail-pierced hands now reaches out to us. And when He speaks, it is not empty comfort—it is a reality sealed in His resurrection. The grave has lost its grip. Hell has lost its claim. And your heart? It is set free.

✝️ Come and receive what Thomas once touched, what the Church has always been given: the risen Christ, for you.
💬 Forgiveness is the key. And Jesus has already turned it.
