And After Eight Days..."be not faithless, but believing."

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
(John 20:26-28)

Resurrected Christ

One way to meditate on Christ during this Easter season

is by looking thoughtfully at artists' depictions of the events
surrounding Christ's death and resurrection.

I have been greatly blessed by seeing these events through the eyes of James J. Tissot
(French painter and illustrator, 1836-1902). He was a well-known French impressionist painter, who in his later years produced a series of 700 watercolors to illustrate the Old and New Testaments -- and helped develop his own Christian faith. I hope you enjoy Tissot's exquisite work as much as I have.
