Every time we hear of a ghost story, typically the ghost is back to get revenge to the people who have caused him harm. Just imagine what the apostle would have felt when they heard Jesus was back! “He’s baaaaaaaack!!! They might have been really scared knowing they betrayed Jesus. Peter even denied knowing him.
What fear must have overwhelm them when they first saw Him. But Jesus first words was “Shalom” or “Peace”. The apostles must be surprised with those words!
Jesus was not out to “get ‘em’”.
But also Jesus shows them His wounds to remind them of what they have done. But that is how God is with us. He doesn’t point fingers and says “You fool! Look what you have done to me!” Even though how much we betray and crucify Jesus with our unfaithfulness and sins, He still says to us “Peace! Do not be afraid!” He has come for the very reason that we are sinners! Yes we have hurt God in so many ways! But God continue to “haunt” us. He continually wants to bring Peace in our lives! He wants to free us from our slavery to sin, the cause of all our anxiety. So matter what you have done, do not be afraid of God. He only wants to bring peace in your life.
Shalom!
