We welcome ALL seeking the Word of God and the Love of Jesus Christ.
It was Easter evening and the disciples were hiding because they were afraid that the Jews would come after them because the Jews might well think that the disciples were part of a plot to overthrow the authority of Rome. While they were locked in the room, Jesus appeared. Jesus spoke to the disciples words of peace and words of authority to, by the power of the Holy Spirit, forgive and to withhold forgiveness. Lots to comprehend the evening after realizing your Lord was raised from the dead!
I have a soft spot in my heart for Thomas since Thomas was uncertain of what had happened that day. Thomas was bold enough to demand truth, though my human nature wonders why Thomas wasn’t in the room with the rest of the disciples. Another week goes by before Jesus offers Himself for Thomas to see, to touch, and for Thomas to believe.
Our faith, our hope, are alive and active. We are not in some sort of holding pattern until Jesus calls us to join Him in heaven. We now have time granted to us by God until the day we die to live in the faith that is proclaimed boldly in the words, “My Lord and my God!” as we continue to share that incredible truth.
