Like Thomas, we too can speak both our faith and our doubts, and Jesus will show up – resurrected scars and all, to meet us where we are, in moments of joy and valleys of pain, in whatever our need. God may not arrive on our timeline but the signs are there. Resurrection revealed in the most unexpected places. Jesus will show up because God loves a great surprise. And what better surprise in this life than to hear the words…Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! And know those words to be true, not because someone told you, but because our friend Thomas felt those words with his very own hands. Now that is a great surprise. And God loves a great surprise.
