Sunday evening,
so the story goes; doors locked,
he comes among them.
A greeting of peace.
Perhaps this is proof enough
that he is risen.
Again he speaks peace,
breathes the Spirit upon them.
Continue my work!
Give the people hope,
Speak God’s word of forgiveness
and new beginnings.
Thomas was not there.
I must see his wounded hands
before I believe.
What proof do I need
that he lives, moves among us;
who will I believe?
Those who have not seen,
who hear my words and follow;
they are truly blessed.
John tells his story:
Know that Jesus is the Christ;
find true life in him!
