In A Little While ...

First, a happy and blessed Mothers’ Day to all the moms and grandmas.

This week’s theme is Jesus speaking about His leaving His disciple for a little while (Good Friday) but they will see Him again in a little while. We, too, have sorrow in this sinful world for a little while. This world is fallen. However, for you who believe in Jesus, all your sorrow will be turned into joy. The resurrection is coming.

Second Sunday of Easter

What a story. Thomas was one of the most zealous of Jesus’ disciples. He was will to go with Jesus to Jerusalem - and die with Him. But when Jesus says He is going to His Father and the disciples know the way, Thomas says he does not know the way. That confusion was changed to unbelief after Good Friday. At least until Jesus’ appears even to Thomas. You have a story, too. It is an eternal story because Jesus has finished His atoning work and gives you faith. Do not be disbelieving but believing.
