Sunday Nugget - We Have Seen The Lord

From Today's Gospel: John 20:19 - 31

Thomas, called the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. When the disciples said, ‘We have seen the Lord’, he answered, ‘Unless I see the holes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe’. Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with you’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him:

‘You believe because you can see me.
Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.’

One thing that can be said of Jesus that cannot be said of the rest of the worlds religious leaders --He is Risen! More than three thousand people saw Him after He resurrected. The other religious figures? When they died they were dead and gone.

Peace and blessings.
