“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Rev. 22:13 Jesus is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He was there at the very start of creation, the Word through whom all that is was formed. He did not enter the scene […]

“So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”” John 11:16 Thomas is the disciple who will later refuse to believe in the resurrection until he can place his hands in the scars on Jesus’ hands. And his lack of faith is evident here when […]
