...But he said to them, Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them... "Put your finger here, see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
John 20:25-28 NIV
Thomas got a new beginning in an unforgettable way...and Jesus words to Tom echo down the centuries to us...will we allow them to shape our year, our choices...
Stop doubting.
And believe.
Believe that I am who I said I am, The Way, The Truth, The Life.
Believe.
Start again from today...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
