DAVID JEREMIAH’S TURNING POINT MARCH 16TH, 2024
After His triumphal entry, Jesus instructed Peter and John to secure a large room in a house in Jerusalem where they could meet and partake in the Passover meal.
On Sunday evening the disciples were gathered in that same Upper Room, still mourning the loss of their Savior and also probably talking about how they could escape the wrath of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly a Man appeared in the room. The disciples were terrified, for the Man in the room had not come through the door, and the door was still locked. Was it a ghost? But then the Man showed them His nail-scarred hands and His side. It was Jesus! He had indeed risen from the dead! One disciple, Thomas, was absent on that evening and did not believe when they told him the good news. So a week later the resurrected Lord appeared again in the Upper Room, allowing Thomas to personally feel the nail prints in His hands and touch the hole in His side from the spear. And Thomas responded, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)
We can be thankful that God reaches out to us where we are, like He did for Thomas, to erase our doubts and support us in our weaknesses.
Our loving Lord is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine—so near that a whisper can reach Him.
