Readings: Acts 9:36-43 Psalm 23 Rev. 7:9-17 John 10:22-30 In the midst of grand visions, we have a story of a widow being raised. God's grand vision is not just for the big things, but includes those who society does not think to be so important.

2nd Sunday of Easter -- Jesus and Disbelief
Tuesday Apr 13, 2010
Tuesday Apr 13, 2010
Readings: Acts 5:27-32 Psalm 150 Revelation 1:4-8 John 20:19-31 Every year, the lectionary appoints the story of Thomas as the gospel lesson for the second Sunday of Easter. Doubting Thomas, we call him. But focusing on Thomas avoids the crux of the passage. Jesus breathes his Spirit upon his followers, and sends them out. Even in our disbelief Jesus draws near to us to bring about our faith, so that we may witness to God's mighty acts.
