John 20:26-28
A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
Come and see
Come and see the Risen Lord
The word made flesh
Wounded flesh
Risen from the grave
with wounds still visible
Come and see
Come and see the one
who is not afraid of his scars
One who exposes his vulnerability
that we might embrace ours
One who doesn’t need us to clean up our act
preferring to get down and dirty with us
Come and see
Come and see the one
who appears in our midst
Offering love
Offering acceptance
Offering trust
Offering hope
Come and see
My Lord and my God
