Seeing Jesus Through the Eyes of Others, Easter 2, April 8th

Thomas had missed seeing Jesus risen from the grave alive. Now he could either see Jesus through what the others were telling him or he could wait and see for himself. If Thomas had been able to get past his doubt he could probably have seen Jesus alive in the new emotions expressed by those who had seen Jesus. The excitement, the hope, the resurgence of life they felt was in itself a powerful testimony to the Resurrected Jesus. Someday we will see Jesus for ourselves. Until then we can look for hints and signs of His living Spirit in those who are seeking and holding onto Jesus beside us.
