His words carry power, just as they did on the stormy lake when He said, “Peace, be still.” Jesus then commissioned them: “As the Father has sent me, so send I you.” Adrian urged us not to fear difficult seasons, because Jesus comes, calms, and sends. He also reflected on Thomas, who needed to see Jesus’ wounds for himself. Jesus met him with openness, inviting belief. Adrian reminded us that God has made each of us unique, loved, and called.
