This past Sunday was Easter Sunday, and we all showed up to
church to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It
was personally a great experience, to be with so many as we observed this Holy
day together. Now, we enter into the season of Easter, where we observe each of
the next 6 Sundays as Sundays of, not
Sundays after, Easter. This is the
season where we know our lives are different because God has saved us by his
Son’s living, dying, and rising. We have new life in Christ.
This Sunday’s gospel lesson is John 20: 19-31. This tells
the story of “Doubting Thomas.” Thomas does not believe that the resurrected Jesus
is in front of him, so he asks to touch the piercings in Jesus’ hands. The
other disciples have trouble believing, too. But Jesus does not chastise them;
he embraces them and extends grace to them.
