John 20:19-23
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Easter Offering
On this day, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in safety and freedom, we remember our Christian brothers and sisters in Iran who continue to worship our Lord amidst chaos and conflict. This is one testimony of many whose lives continue to be impacted and changed by the gospel no matter the circumstances.
For years, my friend Elaheh shared the good news of Christ with me — that He died on the cross for my sins. I never understood it and would even laugh, asking, ‘Why should Christ die on the cross for me? What sin have I committed?’
Then, on January 19, during the protests in Karaj, I was running to escape gunfire when someone pulled me down. When I got up, I felt a heaviness on my body and noticed that my clothes were wet. I realized that a young Iranian man had been shot instead of me. His head rested on my knees as he took his last breaths. In that moment, Elaheh’s words came alive in my mind — that Christ gave His life for me.
Just as that man died in my place without knowing me, Jesus gave His life for me out of love. At that moment I understood how great and immense Christ’s love for me is. The Lord opened my eyes. My heart is full of pain, and every day I feel the blood of that young man that spilled on my legs. But this feeling reminds me every day that Christ is the Lord, and that He gave His life for me.

Today, our Easter offering will support the ongoing ministry of our long-term partners in Iran and across the Persian world as they equip and encourage leaders to bring the light of God’s presence.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.”
—Proverbs 11:30 (NIV)
This year, Peachtree Church is in a yearlong journey through Cultivate: Life Together in the Spirit, inviting our whole congregation to grow in faith together. Each month, we explore one of the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control— and discover how God nurtures these qualities in our lives. Join us as we look forward to a year of deeper transformation and a closer walk with Jesus.
We believe lasting transformation happens best in community.
