Thanks to Andy for the reminder that I should have posted yesterday at Hopeful Imagination. I’m happy to do that today. The post-resurrection stories in the Gospels are amongst my favourite passages to think about, pray over, learn from and enter into. And the story of Thomas, hurt, bewildered but not ready to be conned, is one of those within which I often linger, and wonder. Tomorrow I’ll preach on the passage from John 20, and hope to communicate something of the poignancy and power of this encounter, between bewildered courage and vulnerable availability – "Here touch my hands………don’t be afraid…"……."My Lord, and my God".
