John 20:28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

What are going to be the first words you say to Christ when you see Him face to face?

Thomas did doubt and Jesus was now standing in front of Him. Thomas did not make a clinical search of all the wounds but simply said “My Lord and my God!”

That was the moment he knew Christ had already forgiven him even though his doubt was now plain for all to see.

Christ was not rebuking him or punishing him but simply inviting him to believe fully once again.

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

We live in a time where the Holy Spirit lives among us as our comforter and our guide, but there is coming a time when Christ Himself will once again live amongst us in person!

That time will be when we can live as His own people and He can live as our rightful King over all the earth!

These are not idle rambling of a man daydreaming but promises from God about our future life and the life of the earth. Each and every promise God has made comes to life because they are just that, promises!

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

How big is a congregation? The dictionary definition is simply a group of people assembled for worship. The Jews preferred the minimum definition of 10 people gathered.

Here Jesus gives us a new definition; whether it be for worship, business, or whatever reason people gather together, if they gather in Christ’s name, He is with them!

Christ wants to give us guidance and wants to rule our hearts with us so we can live for and with Him; first, we need to submit to Him and allow Him to guide us!

Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

When we tell people about Jesus and the gospel, we should not just be telling them one part of it; we need to spread the whole gospel story!

Jesus is a part of our bibles. He has been there from the beginning of time and people need to know every part of His life as well as the rest of the bible.

Share God. Share your bible. Do this all full in the knowledge that Jesus has promised to be with us right through the end of time!

But do everything trying your best to obey your God and Father!
