Fridaywe were left with words such as Disappointment, Dismay, and Desolation.
Butit’s Sunday morning. Mary Magdalene and others go to the tomb of Jesus, filledwith Dread. They believe their Lord and Savior is Dead and His cold body willbe lying there. Instead, the tomb is empty, Jesus’ body is gone. They are Desperateto find it, to find Him.
AndHe finds them and their Despair is quickly turned to Delight. Jesus is their Deliverer.
Aweek later, however, we encounter one last D word. Doubt. You know the story. Thomas,one of the disciples, wasn’t with the others when Jesus appeared to them. Hedoubted what they told him. He wouldn’t believe until he put his fingers wherethe nails had pierced Jesus’ hands.
WhenJesus appeared to him, Thomas did just that – put his fingers in the holes inJesus’ hands and in His side. Then he no longer doubted.
Whatabout you? Without having seen Jesus yourself, do you believe in the resurrection?Do you have faith that Jesus Christ came to save you from your sins?
Ipray you Do. May God bless you, Chris
