This Jesus
Virginia Salter

This Jesus
God has raised up!
Witnessed by thousands
even, too, by Thomas
Yet who would you be?
A Thomas,
before he placed his hands
in Christ’s side,
in the nail scars in His hands?
Is that where you would remain?
There, a Thomas in the room
before Christ slipped in
and allowed your touch to know
He’s alive?
Would you remain there
in those moments before?
Or
will you allow
Him to enter your heart,
to reveal
the holes are in you
waiting to be filled
with Him, His love, His power.
Will you come forth, filled,
alive in Him?
Will you?

Oh yes, He has seen me through the worst 4 months of this year, and he'll be there for the eternity......thank you for this.

I loved the way this was written, and during a church service to boot! Wonderful job.

Well done Virginia. God is always there, even for the doubters and sinners.
