What happens when fear locks the door — but Christ comes through anyway? In this sermon for Quasimodogeniti (the Second Sunday of Easter), we explore how Jesus still invades locked rooms and hidden fears with His wounds, His Word, and His Spirit. From the stunned disciples to the doubting Thomas, to us today, Christ meets fear with forgiveness, doubt with proof, and death with new life. Are you hiding behind locked doors of fear, guilt, or shame? Come and see the marks of His love, hear His living Word, and breathe in His Spirit anew.

Takeaways:

• Christ’s peace is a legal declaration, not a fleeting emotion
• His wounds are proof, not shame, and remain visible by choice
• Faith grows not by staring at doubts, but by touching Christ’s gifts
• Forgiveness is the foundation of all true Christian ministry
• God's gifts nourish us even when we cannot fully understand them
