The Day After Easter

|

Do you ever wonder what the day after Easter was like? The mountain top experience Jesus is alive, but do you wonder if the disciples doubt? Did Thomas’ doubts take seed in the others who saw Jesus? Did they begin to think maybe it was something we all ate? I wonder.

I know I am apt to doubt and question. God calls me to do something and it isn’t as easy or fun or whatever that I think it should be, so I wonder if I heard right.

Oh but Jesus made sure the disciples knew it was Him. In fact He spent forty days on Earth before ascending to heaven. He appeared to the disciples and large groups of people. He was making sure everyone knew He was alive.

The same is true today. We do not have to doubt God’s call on our lives. If it is truly His call, He will confirm it. Often He doesn’t confirm it in the way we think He will, but He will confirm the call.

Today the day after Easter, I don’t have to doubt my Savior. He is RISEN INDEED. He is victorious over sin and death and hell. And He the God of all creation has a plan for our lives, mine and yours. Doubt it? I wouldn’t.
