The other disciples had seen the risen Lord, but Thomas said, \u201c<em>Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A week later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples, and this time Thomas was with them. Jesus invited him to touch his wounds. Thomas responded, \u201c<em>My Lord and my God!<\/em>\u201d Then Jesus said to him, \u201c<em>Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lois reflected on another group: those who saw Jesus\u2019 signs and yet did not believe, reminding us that seeing alone is not always the same as faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lois went on to say that every Sunday is an opportunity to worship the living Lord. Each Sunday &#8211; even \u201cLow Sunday\u201d &#8211; is like Easter Day because it is the Lord\u2019s Day, a celebration of the risen Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have just come through Easter, and the preacher, Lois Greenhalgh, told us that this Sunday, the one after Easter, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4477"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4482,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4477\/revisions\/4482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
