My Friends in Christ,
On Wednesday evening, I joined Bible Study from home. I Zoomed in, camera positioned above the group. I could see the tops of heads bent over scripture, hands wrapped around coffee cups, faces tilting up to speak and then back down to read. I was struck by how beautiful the scene was.
I found myself thinking…maybe this is something like how God watches us. Not distant. Not detached. But present, seeing the whole room, the believers and the doubters and the ones who aren’t quite sure what they are yet. All of them gathered around the same Word, trying to make sense of it together.
In this week’s Gospel reading, we encounter Thomas. He gets a bad reputation as “Doubting Thomas,” but look at where he is. He’s there. Still in the room with the others. Still showing up. And Jesus comes to him anyway, wounds and all.
I think God delights in our gathering, especially when we come with questions. Thomas didn’t have to have it all figured out to receive Christ’s peace. He just had to show up. Jesus met him exactly there, in the middle of his uncertainty, and offered himself to him.
That’s the promise we carry into this week. Whatever you’re holding, whatever you’re unsure of, you are seen by the one who knows the whole room.
What would it mean to trust that God sees you, right where you are, and calls it good?
In Christ’s Peace,
Christine+
