Second Sunday of Easter: "Peace Be With You" — John 20:19-31 | St. Peter's by-the-Sea
Episode 10
Sunday, 12 April, 2026
What does it mean to receive peace from someone you failed?On the Second Sunday of Easter, Fr. Craig Swan preaches on one of the most striking moments in John's Gospel: the risen Christ walking through locked doors to stand before the disciples who had abandoned him — and offering not judgment, but peace.Fr. Craig explores the shame the disciples carried on that first Easter evening, why forgiveness is less about the other person than about freeing yourself, and how the church's long history of division stands in direct tension with the risen Christ's first words: Peace be with you.The sermon closes with a challenge for this congregation and this moment: in a time marked by conflict and the need to be right, can we choose relationship over certainty?Scripture ReadingsActs 2:14a, 22–32 — Peter's witness to the resurrectionPsalm 16 — "You will not abandon me to the grave"1 Peter 1:3–9 — A living hope through resurrectionJohn 20:19–31 — The risen Christ appears; Thomas's doubt and faithSt. Peter's by-the-Sea is an Episcopal Church in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
