We celebrate the greatest event of our faith – the Resurrection of Jesus.
Thomas missed the first appearance of the Lord on the Lord’s Day – Sunday. A week later, Jesus came and stood among them and said – “Peace be with you”, (John 20:19-31).
Jesus meets Thomas at his place of doubt. Doubt is not a bad thing. There are times in life when doubt is healthy. Doubt is not negative until it leads us to choose not to believe.
The only way to survive our doubts is to believe. To believe in Jesus means to depend totally on Jesus and place our trust in Him completely. Jesus’ presence always makes a difference.
How often do we find ourselves overcome with anxiety and being scared?How often do we wake up at night finding our sleep interrupted by a time of uneasiness and disappointment?
It is human to experience fear. It is human to find ourselves overwhelmed with anxiety, worry, doubt. We need to take the time to allow Jesus to come into our rooms, our hearts and our minds. We need to focus on the Risen Lord who brings us peace – true peace.
Jesus, I Trust in You!
