Immanuel Lutheran Church & School

This is the greatest confession by any disicple yet in the life of Jesus and it is done by Thomas.  Thomas doesn’t doubt the resurrection of Jesus the Christ, he outright denies it and says that unless he can put his hands in the very holes of Jesus (greek says digitally explore them) and stick his hand in His side (get up in there and feel around), he will not believe. 

Jesus grants to Thomas his wish, He allows Thomas and Thomas alone to know and experience this.  Never ever let anyone call you a doubting Thomas for if you are it means that you do not believe in Jesus, and will not unless you too get this opportunity, and the Lord may not grant that to you. 

We see too thought Thomas going from an unbeliever to one who confesses the Jesus Christ is God.  No other disciple had done this to this point.  It is in this great confession that we share, that our Lord is our God, and gives us all strength, and deserves all praise.  This is what we share with Thomas in.  The confession of faith, of who our Lord is. 

Today, may you see the Lord as your God. 

God Bless your week, through His love for you!
